![]() ![]() Now my bisexual butt assumed that meant it would be gay. ![]() The story! Now I’m pretty sure it’s clear from the synopsis that this is a Sleeping Beauty retelling but with a queen instead of a prince. There are two elements to this book, the story and the illustrations, so I’ll try to cover both of them separately for now. Yes, it’s another fairytale retelling – did you think I’d stopped reading them? OF COURSE NOT. Twisting together the familiar and the new, this perfectly delicious, captivating and darkly funny tale shows its creators at the peak of their talents. This queen will decide her own future – and the princess who needs rescuing is not quite what she seems. She casts aside her fine wedding clothes, takes her chain mail and her sword and follows her brave dwarf retainers into the tunnels under the mountain towards the sleeping kingdom. On the eve of her wedding, a young queen sets out to rescue a princess from an enchantment. I’m mostly kidding, I’m gonna talk about the story too – but The Sleeper and the Spindle is one of the most beautiful books I have on my shelf and I will yell about it to anyone who will listen. ![]() Hello Humans! Today’s review should be short and sweet as I’m pretty sure all I have to do is show you some photos of this book from my bookstagram and you’ll know if it’s a yes or a no for you. ![]()
