Girl, Serpent, Thorn

A dark fairy tale with a twist. Girl, Serpent, Thorn is kind of a cross between Frozen and Maleficent. A girl cursed to poison everything she touches. It starts asking that classic question of who really are the monsters? Can a curse be made for a positive reason? I have seen this marketed as YA and I know people who commented that the cover looked a bit feminine, but this is dark and interesting - much more so than would be expected looking at those two thing (though that being said, classic fairy tales are surprisingly dark when read as an adult).

I haven't read so much fairy tale fantasy, but this was a thoroughly enjoyable read and deserving of the buzz it has been generating. This was my first book received through the Fairyloot subscription and I was pleasantly surprised by this one - I signed up to Fairyloot to try and nab a few of their special editions but have decided to keep hold of the subscription on the strength of this!
