T. Kingfisher
From USA Today bestselling author T. Kingfisher, Thornhedge is the tale of a kind-hearted, toad-shaped heroine, a gentle knight, and a mission gone completely sideways.
There's a princess trapped in a tower. This isn't her story.
Meet Toadling. On the day of her birth, she was stolen from her family by the fairies, but she grew up safe and loved in the warm waters of faerieland. Once an adult though, the fae ask a favor of Toadling: return to the human world and offer a blessing of protection to a newborn child. Simple, right?
But nothing with fairies is ever simple.
Centuries later, a knight approaches a towering wall of brambles, where the thorns are as thick as your arm and as sharp as swords. He's heard there's a curse here that needs breaking, but it's a curse Toadling will do anything to uphold…
"The way Thornhedge turns all the fairy tales inside out is a sharp-edged delight."—Katherine Addison, author of The Goblin Emperor

Reseñas de la Crítica
2024, Hugo Award - Winner
"I opened, I devoured. Absolutely delightful and full of charm and truth."—Naomi Novik, New York Times bestselling author of A Deadly Education
"Immensely charming, unexpected, full of heart, I was utterly delighted by this incredibly original retelling of Sleeping Beauty."—Katherine Arden, bestselling author of The Bear and the Nightingale
T. Kingfisher’s delicate, bittersweet style of fantasy is like nothing else on shelves at the moment and, as a result, she’s an author whose work I would read without knowing one single fact about it. But, in case you need facts, this Sleeping Beauty retelling with a twist is a perfect blend of sharp-edged humor and horror-tinged heart.”—Paste Magazine

Nice reimagining, but...

I liked the overall take on Sleeping Beauty. A strange looking fairy, an evil child of unparalleled beauty, but the writing.... it could have been much better. i just wasn't impressed.
Interesting twist on Sleeping Beauty

Loved it

This leans towards Brothers Grimm fairy tellings, where magic is a twisted, dangerous thing and crossing paths with the Fae rarely bodes well. I for one love twisty, especially when the twists upend the expected fairytale endings.
I adored both Toadling and the knight. I found the pacing slow and felt overall maudlin as the story sunk into my bones. I’m not sure why, maybe it was the mood of this novella, but I kept hearing that poem in my head “Once upon a midnight dreary, as I pondered weak and weary …”
But, every rose has its thorns. Despite the mood, there is beauty and consequence and a satisfying end.
There is Grimm level violence but I found this acceptable down to tween listeners.
