✨ The Door in the Hedge by Robin McKinley

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Robin McKinley has a very atmospheric way of writing. A magical, a knightly way of writing. And that is plainly clear in this book as she rewrites four fairy tales and extrapolates on new themes and magic. I really liked this collection as each story felt new and different, even if I already new one of the tales- The Princess and the Frog- which ended up being one of my favorite retellings.

Fairy Tale February: Week 2 Book Recs

Cinder - Marissa Meyer

A sci-fi Cinderella story in which Cinderella is a cyborg mechanic trying to help her prince deal with a devastating, incurable plague and the looming threat of a powerful and ruthless queen. Fantastic writing, fantastic world-building! The only thing I didn't like was the ending; I wish there had been some sort of resolution for at least one of the conflicts, instead of leaving everything loose. That said, I can't wait to read the rest of the series!

Lunar Chronicles: Cinder | Scarlet | Cress | Winter

The Door in the Hedge - Robin McKinley

Four fairy tales: two retellings (The Princess and the Frog and The Twelve Dancing Princesses) and two originals (The Stolen Princess and The Hunting of the Hind). Robin McKinley writes such beautiful, rich, lyrical language that is so well suited for fairy tales. Her stories are mesmerizing!

Sherwood - Meagan Spooner

A retelling of Robin Hood in which the famed outlaw is actually Maid Marian in disguise! When Robin of Locksley dies fighting in the King's war, his betrothed, Marian, must deal with her grief and the uncertainty of her future. As she tries to protect her friends and do what is right for her people, she finds the freedom to be herself in a surprising way — by becoming someone else! I cannot express how much I loved this story! This is the only version of Robin Hood I care about now.

Plant of the Day

Sunday 14 April 2024

A useful small-leaved hedging plant is Lonicera ligustrina var. pileata (box-leaved honeysuckle). This low spreading evergreen shrub responds well to clipping and has small tubular cream flowers in late spring, followed by purple berries.

DOOR IN THE HEDGE ━ once upon a time ✧

Princess Edeline of Gardenia was used to chaos. She thrived off the unknown and found solace in its fractured embrace. Since she was a young girl, darkness was all she knew, dancing night after night among strangers. She and her twelve sisters owed a debt to a being more powerful than they could have ever imagined. Every night they tried to escape, and every night they failed. They were trapped in an endless loop, searching for a way out and finding none until the portal hopper arrived. Jefferson Hatter of the Enchanted Forest was no stranger to mischief. The mischief led him to his first love and eventually to the birth of his daughter. However, he felt a void where his heart used to be. Every beat felt like a needle being pressed into a sore wound that would never heal. He wanted to provide for his only child and found that opportunity in another realm where slippers were always worn down. Jefferson and Edeline were each other's salvation and each other's doom. The Evil Queen's curse only tore into a story that was just beginning to blossom, leaving many people trapped in a land where happy endings seemed impossible. Edeline, now Davina, was unaware of her fate to dance once more as she practiced her steps daily in her dance studio. Jefferson could only look on desperation, knowing too much and yet not knowing enough to find a way to break the curse. Fairytales never end with 'Happily Ever After' ...
