Seven new feminist, queer, and antiauthoritarian fairy tales told through a graphic novel format. These fairy tales focus on different protagonists than have populated the fairy tales of yore, thereby offering a fresh new interpretation for old stories.
I’m torn. I was quite excited to read a queer collection of fairy tales, but I was mostly dissatisfied with how this book turned out. A lot of the stories ended inconclusively. Forget the “happily ever after,” I was still looking for “the end”! However, I did appreciate the variety of stories and protagonists. It is refreshing to see BIPOC, queer, feminist protagonists in these fairy tales.
