An Amazon Editor's Pick!
A Goodreads Most Anticipated Summer Read! A SIBA 2023 Southern Book Prize Finalist! A Paste Magazine Best New Fantasy of 2022!"A lively, engaging fairy-tale retelling perfect for devouring in a single sitting." --Kirkus Reviews "Series fans and lovers of fractured fairy tales will find plenty to hold their attention." --Publishers Weekly
"Readers who love stories that twist narratives into knots will fall for Harrow's fractured fairy tale" --Library Journal
"Zinnia is a wonderfully unique figure in the long tradition of bibliofantasy: a reluctant heroine whose superpower doesn't derive from spindles or mirrors, but from skillfully deconstructing the very stories she's in." --Locus Praise for A Spindle Splintered

"A vivid, subversive and feminist reimagining of Sleeping Beauty, where implacable destiny is no match for courage, sisterhood, stubbornness and a good working knowledge of fairy tales." --Katherine Arden, bestselling author of the Winternight trilogy "An exceptional heroine, smart writing, and a winning plot." --Nancy Pearl "It's funny, sharp, queer, and deeply loves its source material...This novella pushes against the hopelessness of inevitability; it dares us to believe in sympathetic magic; it tells us we're connected through story. It might dent your heart a little, but it's good fun." --NPR "Like Into the Spider-Verse for Disney princesses, A Spindle Splintered is a delightful mash-up featuring Alix E. Harrow's trademark beautiful prose and whip-smart characters." --Mike Chen, author of Here and Now and Then "A wonderfully imaginative, and Queer as hell, tale for those who wish to be the authors of their own stories." --Kalynn Bayron, author of Cinderella is Dead "This is a self-aware, empowered riff on Sleeping Beauty that manages to be thrilling, funny, smart, and sweet." --Sarah Pinsker, Nebula Award-winning author of A Song for a New Day "Alix Harrow takes traditional fairy tales, turns them inside out, then upside down, and uses them to kick ass. Brava!" --Ellen Klages, Nebula and World Fantasy Award-winning author of The Green Glass Sea and Passing Strange "Harrow creates a lush and magical world with well-developed characters who are easy to love and root for." --School Library Journal, starred review "Themes of female friendship, female strength, and female independence leave good feels behind, not to mention some laugh-out-loud bits...This fairy tale-superhero movie mashup is pure entertainment." --Kirkus Reviews
"Best-selling author Harrow revives and rejuvenates the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale with a feminist twist in her latest... Harrow uses her excellent skill as a storyteller to give agency back to the passive princess." --Booklist
"Accompanied by Arthur Rackham's original illustrations, this quick read is a must for fairy-tale readers." --Buzzfeed, Best Books of October List
