the witch doesn't burn in this one

As soon as I saw this available on NetGalley, I knew I needed to read it. The Princess Saves Herself in This One was an amazing foray into poetry for me. I do not particularily like poetry, but I was able to connect on a deep level with many of the poems in that collection. So when I knew Amanda was going to have a “sequel” I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. That being said, this one fell flat for me. I did not have the same connection to the writing as I had with Princess.

This collection is all about female empowerment which is important and very timely. I unfortunately, was unable to make that connection with these poems to really truly enjoy this book. Many are going to read this an absolutely fall in love. It is another great collection of poetry, it just was not the collection for me.

Thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the eARC

Woman supporting woman. That's it. That's the review.

Can't stop re-reading this, and I bought copies for a bunch of my friends. I haven't come across poetry I love this much in more than a decade. Transformative.
