Spindle Fire is a beautifully written telling of the Sleeping Beauty fable. The language in the novel is breathtaking, gorgeously written phrases, delicious descriptions, poetic and inventive similes. The characters are compelling, particularly Isabelle, who navigates a thrilling adventure with great bravery and determination. The section with Isabelle among the narwhal hunters is particularly gripping and exciting.

Faeries and kingdoms, magic and a curse, a fairy tale beautifully told. I look forward to reading the next book in this duology. (

Well, this is certainly an original take on the Sleeping Beauty mythos -- one where the fairies tithe abilities away, so in exchange for beauty and gracefulness, Aurora loses her voice. In exchange for Aurora's life, her sister loses her sight.

The strengths -- a very excellent and engaging and capable blind main character, also a mute one. The wonderful bond between the sisters. The weaknesses -- another series, this one set up to mirror the larger dysfunctional family relationship that governs the bigger political picture. I'm just not that interested in watching the drama Isabella and Aurora's relationship will inevitably go through, and the pacing drags. The dreaming world is confusing, the waking one is full of beings being awful to each other just because they can.

It's a perfectly fine YA series, just not one I care to pick up again.

Kinda meh on this one. I like the ideas around the retelling but there are a lot of plot holes and the characters disabilities were not always handled that well logistically, which I found frustrating. I might check out the next one in the series if my library picks up the audiobook. (

This book started off slow, but it was worth the build-up. Isbe and Aurora are half-sisters, both suffering from a loss of senses taken from them by Faeries as tithes for other gifts. Following the classic tale of Sleeping Beauty, Aurora is cursed to fall into a deep sleep on her sixteenth birthday by pricking her finger on a spindle, but this sleep is contagious.

Aurora gets trapped in a dream world, trying to escape while her sister tries to get back to her with a prince to awaken her. The bond between sisters is strong, and I loved the way Hillyer spent time developing it. I was also holding my breath at the romantic tension, screaming in frustration and excitement at times.

That ending has killed me, and so now I’m off to read the second one! (

It was OK.. not anything special - though I liked the back story with this one a lot, the fairy exchange. (
