so-soI got this book for free, in exchange for my honest opinion via Tor.
After the Forest is a novel that had the potential to be truly captivating. While it had its moments, I ultimately found myself somewhat disappointed by the overall execution…

pickInteresting Sleeping Beauty retelling.
Toadling was the victim of a changeling swap. Born the daughter of a king, snatched from her cradle when she was hours old, and raised in the Fae realm, she was sent back to stop the creature left in her place, but she failed. So, she concealed the castle where the creature slept behind a hedge, until they are forgotten. But the story survived.
“The Two Brothers“ is a little tale to honour two important Danish personalities, Anders Sandoe Oersted and Hans Christian Oersted, who were brothers.
But I also see in this tale that there is more than one path to find the so-called “truth“ of the world. One can see the truth in many different ways. Some, like these two men, even devote their lives to it.

Agatha and Sophie have solved the School Master‘s riddle - so now they should be able to go home. But I‘m only halfway through the book.
It got off to a slow start initially but picked up. It‘s not obvious where it‘s going yet, which is good. There were some odd vocabulary choices which didn‘t make sense to me.
“The Shepherdess and the Chimney-Sweeper“ is a lovely little tale about forbidden love between two porcelain dolls, with a lot of sentiment, humour, and charming characters.
If you'd like to be charmed and amused, I invite you to read the full tale: https://tardisgrades.blogspot.com/2024/04/a-tale-day-shepherdess-and-chimney.htm...

April 3 #SpringSkies AnimalPOV This is the best version of The Three Little Pig I've ever read and my girls sure thought so too. Especially my second daughter. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @StayCurious
“The Wicked Prince“ reminds us that even greed has its limits and that, sometimes, the best weapons are the simplest ones. However, this tale can also be interpreted as a warning against colonialism and capitalism, since our world is so firmly built upon greed. Perhaps we should take care not to end up like the Prince of the story...
