A Spindle Splintered by Alix E. Harrow
3.0
hopeful lighthearted fast-paced

This was a fun novella that takes us from the modern world with a girl with a disease that won't see her live past the age of 22 to another timeline of a Princess with the Sleeping Beauty curse.

I love the line "Only dying girls love Sleeping Beauty." as this has always been my favorite fairy tale (as far as Disney goes, as far as real Grimm tale-yikes!) It just made me laugh and ask. "what does this say about me?"

We get to see a few iterations of different tales of how Sleeping Beauty is told and it's very feminist in nature
