![]() ![]() It’s been talked to death, we think, and we’re not interested in dragging out an old conversation. Review: What I’m not going to do in this review is talk about the chaos/controversy surrounding Bitch Magazine’s feminist books list and Sisters Red last year. The world that Jackson Pearce has created in both Sisters Red and Sweetly is dark, and creates its own specific mythology while drawing upon recognizable fairy tale elements. Who would we give it to? There’s a big demand for retold fairy tales. Her journey into someone who can protect herself and others instead of seeking protection is well realized. But she absolutely becomes one over the course of the book. I knew I was going to like Gretchen, but I wasn’t sure if she was going to be a Slatebreaker. ![]() It makes it clear that this book is set in the same world as Pearce’s first book, Sisters Red, while still clearly indicating a different story.ĭoes it Break the Slate? Yes. It’s creepy, and sets the right tone, and I like the witches face appearing in the trees all people-kissing-or-a-vase-style. ![]() Little, Brown & Company, 2011 (Currently Available)įace Value: I’m kind of into it. ![]()
