Críticas
The mood and setting were incredible. The set up was beautifully done. The actual events were just okay. I'm not quite sure what it was, but I was hoping for something more. I don't know if it was just me but I kind of figured out the twist right at the start? The foreshadowing wasn't exactly subtle. It was a little repetitive because of this. Overall, not a bad read but I was expecting more given how popular it is.
Toadling, a fairy who can take the shape of a toad, guards the decrepit ruins of a castle tower surrounded by sharp thistles for centuries. One day a kindhearted Muslim knight named Halim arrives on a quest to break the curse of the castle. But Toadling has very good reasons for the princess Fayette sleeping inside to remain in eternal slumber. This retelling of the classic Sleeping Beauty fairy tale is an imaginative story of friendship, courage, and redemption.

I think of these books as cozy horror, because the scares are there and the characters do suffer, but there is always the sense that they will make it through somehow. In this book especially since Alex is telling the story to you, the reader, but it's something I love about T. Kingfisher's horror and writing in general. If this is your first foray into her writing I highly recommend giving the rest of her books a chance, she writes across genres but they all have this delightful common element, as well as a bit of weird. Much thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for access to the eARC in exchange for an honest review.… (mais)
