Disclaimer: I recorded the audiobook. But, if you don't already know, that takes a LONG time with all the editing required -- so I really wouldn't have done it unless I genuinely enjoyed the stories. My rating is both biased and honest. :)

These fantasy stories feature transgender and nonbinary characters dealing with gendered (and therefore potentially subvertible) prophecies. Includes individual trigger warnings, so you can listen to / read each one at a time that's right for you.

Ana is a marvellous and satisfying storyteller, and I happily recommend this book to any lover of fairy tales and to people interested in widening their literary experience of gender.
hopeful lighthearted medium-paced

This is a really enjoyable book ... even though Patricia is a dreadfully annoying person at times, I mostly could relate to her pride and angst at the way that a simple lie begets a whole nest of complication.

A fun romance, even though it's set against the Great War in London, with many little hints of how hard that must have been dotted throughout. Well-read by Anna Simon and very well-worth a listen.

If you come across a copy of this book, definitely consider reading it. First published in 1934, and still unique and engrossing now.
