The Spinner of Dreams
The Spinner of Dreams | K. A. Reynolds
3 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
Inventive, empathetic, and strange in all the best ways, The Spinner of Dreams draws from the author’s own experiences to create a story that feels timeless and universal. As she did in her debut The Land of Yesterday, K. A. Reynolds thoughtfully explores mental health and crafts an adventure that fits right alongside middle grade classics like The Phantom Tollbooth. Annalise Meriwether—though kind, smart, and curious—is terribly lonely. Cursed at birth by the devious Fate Spinner, Annalise has always lived a solitary life with her loving parents. She does her best to ignore the cruel townsfolk of her desolate town—but the black mark on her hand won’t be ignored. Not when the monster living within it, which seems to have an agenda of its own, grows more unpredictable each day. There’s only one way for Annalise to rid herself of her curse: to enter the Labyrinth of Fate and Dreams and defeat the Fate Spinner. So despite her anxiety, Annalise sets out to undo the curse that’s defined her—and to show the world, and herself, exactly who she is inside.

"Even those broken by fate can pick themselves up and rise."

An awesome middle grades fantasy. It's full of magic and whimsy, creatures and a little darkness. It reminds me a lot of the Nevermoor series mixed with The Labyrinth & Alice in Wonderland. This book reminds you that everything isn't as dire as it seems & you should always believe you can accomplish your dreams.

An intriguing and dark fantasy novel. It had a very Tim Burton-esque feeling to it. I really enjoyed the world building and the overall idea behind the book. It is a longer book, over 400 pages, and at times the action moved more slowly than I would have liked. I loved the messages about self-confidence, how obstacles make you stronger, and to never give up on your dreams. #YA #Fantasy
