The colored pencil illustrations are so absolutely endearing and was an excellent choice for this lovingly queer fairy tale collection. The stories are somewhat short and fast paced, but that's what you typically expect from the genre. I think my favorite would have to be "Hsthete" because really I enjoyed the soft chaotic vibe. The others were impactful and I loved that so many of them focused on the value and strength of community. Queer folk flourish and survive when surrounded by those that accept and bolster them and I was thankful to see that reflected here. Definitely an affirming and validating set of stories.
