Gennarose Nethercott creates fairy tales that are spellbinding and immersive. The magic feels palpably close, like I could turn a corner and discover myself in any of the stories or scenes in Fifty Beasts. From sinister roadside attractions to shape shifting foxes to beast-seeking florists, this entire collection is pure enchantment.

I had loved Nethercott's novel Thistlefoot so much that I worried that my expectations were getting too high for Fifty Beasts. Happily, though, my expectations were exceeded. Nethercott is now officially one of my favorite authors and I will read anything she publishes!

Many thanks to @netgalley and @vintageanchorbooks for the advanced reader copy of Fifty Beasts to Break Your Heart in exchange for my honest review! All thoughts and opinions are my own. Fifty Beasts to Break Your Heart is in stores now!
