Stray | Elissa Sussman

Epic, rewarding, and provocative, Elissa Sussmans original fairy tale tells the story of Aislynn, a princess who misbehaves and must give up her royal trappings and enter a life of service as a fairy godmother. Booklist wrote, Sussman delightfully mixed dystopian tension with retold fairy tales, and the result is something wholly original. A cross between The Handmaids Tale and Wicked, with a dash of Grimm and Disney thrown in, this original fairy tale is part coming-of-age story, part adventure, part sweet romance. Will Aislynn remain true to her vows and her royal family and turn away from everything she longs for? Or will she stray from The Path and discover her own way? Includes a recipe for Fairy Godmother Bookbinder Bread, and a map.

I'm bailing on this for now. Maybe later it will catch my attention.

I am about 100 pages into this book and I can't get into it! It all sounds so trivial and I don't get what is going.
Should I stick with it?

BookishMarginalia I'd suggest putting it aside, since it's not resonating. 7y

So I was originally drawn to this book because the cover and it sounded like a great read but I honestly did not like the book at all. I finished it of course and maybe it just wasn't my cup of tea

TiffanyBolin I do this all the time. 🙈 The trick of the beautiful cover. 8y
AmberDick Exactly haha! I had to power through it 8y
