ninetalevixen 's review for:
shine your icy crown
by Amanda Lovelace
I received an advance review copy from Andrews McMeel Publishing through Netgalley; all opinions are my own and honest.
content warnings (from the book):
★ 3.5 stars ★
this is classic amanda lovelace: deceptively simple and direct yet poignantly honest, accompanied by lovely illustrations too. unapologetically feminist, with an emphasis on both solidarity and self-actualization; the themes and messages will be familiar if you've read lovelace's other works, but each iteration is framed and/or phrased differently enough to bring different nuances and resonance.
while i would've liked to see the fairytale theme a bit more prominently developed (as it was in [b:break your glass slippers|50934923|break your glass slippers (You Are Your Own Fairy Tale)|Amanda Lovelace|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1580711538l/50934923._SY75_.jpg|71433031]), this is still an enchanting collection with some gentle reminders that most if not all of us need to hear.
