renatasnacks 's review for:

Damsel by Elana K. Arnold
4.0

I got about 1/3rd into this and insisted that my coworker tell me if the cat dies!!!!!!

Spoiler
the cat does not die but whew there are some perilous situations


anyway WHEW this is a gripping read. Difficult, emotionally speaking (and not only for cat-related reasons), but gripping. A lot of content warnings here, but in the right hands/setting could be great for a class on fairy tales/gender/etc.

Spoiler
but also like yo at the end of the day, the king fucked that dragon's armpit wound though
like wow though
