I was lucky enough to read this book way back in August of 2021 and have been absolutely *dying* to recommend it to everyone. Now that its release date is almost here (Tuesday!!!) I can finally share just how fun, adventurous, and exhilarating this YA is. Vedder has completely flipped the fairytale retelling trend on its head, blending stories we know and love into a modern story that feels both familiar, yet refreshingly new.
It follows Fi, a bookish treasure hunter (dream job! sorry, BuzzFeed!) and Shane, a tough queer mercenary (think Gideon the Ninth, IYKYK) on a trek to break both a curse put on Fi, but also a century-long curse plaguing the entire land. Along the way, they encounter mysterious red witches, the spirit of the cursed Prince Briar Rose, and plenty of wildly fun obstacles. I fell in love with this wild ride of a book and am truly excited for it to be out in the world if only because I selfishly want the sequel ASAP. If you — like me — could have used more queer characters in your YA novels growing up, this is the book for you. Preorder your copy now. —Kirby Beaton |
