A Spindle Splintered Book Review

“A Spindle Splintered ” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later. Before starting the reading or downloading, here is the summary of the book that you can read. A vivid, subversive and feminist reimagining of Sleeping Beauty, where implacable destiny is no match for courage, sisterhood, stubbornness and a good working knowledge of fairy tales.” —Katherine Arden It’s Zinnia Gray’s twenty-first birthday, which is extra-special because it’s the last birthday she’ll ever have. When she was young, an industrial accident left Zinnia with a rare condition. Not much is known about her illness, just that no-one has lived past twenty-one. Her best friend Charm is intent on making Zinnia’s last birthday special with a full sleeping beauty experience, complete with a tower and a spinning wheel. But when Zinnia pricks her finger, something strange and unexpected happens, and she finds herself falling through worlds, with another sleeping beauty, just as desperate to escape her fate.

Brief Summary A Spindle Splintered by Alix E. Harrow

Despite opinions stated within this story, Sleeping Beauty is one of my favorites. So when I saw that Alix E Harrow was going to flip what has been traditionally known about this fable, I was all for it. But I think I really appreciated the fact that Alix (through main character Zinnia) really tackled all the complex and, let’s face it, problematic issues regarding the Sleeping Beauty story throughout its many iterations. I think it was interesting to acknowledge where the story came from and how it morphed from Perrault to Disney and other things in between. Then, most of all, I enjoyed seeing where Alix E Harrow took the story.An industrial accident left Zinnia Gray with a rare condition. She is just turning twenty-one and doesn’t expect to live much longer. Zinnia has much identified with the story of Sleeping Beauty – a young woman who lives under a curse to sleep for 100 years – except when the time comes Zinnia will not be falling asleep only to be awakened with true love’s kiss.
