Would love to read more about Toadling. ( ) An excellent novella and the first of Kingfisher's books that I actually finished. It's a fantastic re-telling of the Sleeping Beauty theme in a way that feels very real as opposed to the saccharine, perhaps(?) bowdlerized version by the Brothers Grimm (and based on the Charles Perrault version). There was little sense of a fairytale trope and the characterizations were deftly executed, though the queen persona was confusingly sketchy. Recommended! I read this novella as part of the Nebula finalist packet. Thornhedge is a lovely work that twists around fairy-tale tropes, in a fun, thoughtful way, following the fairy Toadling, who has long-guarded a bramble-surrounded tower that has a sleeping beauty within. When a young Muslim knight shows up, investigating old tales, he and Toadling strike up a slow, caring friendship as the truths of the past are revealed. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

There's a princess trapped in a tower. This isn't her story. Meet Toadling. On the day of her birth, she was stolen from her family by the fairies, but she grew up safe and loved in the warm waters of faerieland. Once an adult though, the fae ask a favor of Toadling: return to the human world and offer a blessing of protection to a newborn child. Simple, right? But nothing with fairies is ever simple. Centuries later, a knight approaches a towering wall of brambles, where the thorns are as thick as your arm and as sharp as swords. He's heard there's a curse here that needs breaking, but it's a curse Toadling will do anything to uphold. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
