Should all curses be broken? This lush, subversive retelling of Sleeping Beauty turns the fairytale on its head. This is the story of Toadling, the faerie who is guarding the tower within which the princess sleeps. T. Kingfisher brings us a polished gem with this beautiful novella. The world-building is rich and verdant. The prose is lyrical, haunting, and sweet. Thornhedge is pure magic. Toadling will steal your heart.
