An easy but wonderful reimagining of a number of myths and folklore, plus three new tales. I loved reading about these amazing women and how love tied into their stories. It wasn’t the love stories that defined them, and in fact I’d say each of them defined their romances. While at times some of the women were more insecure or unsure about their lives or even themselves, their beautifully told tales saw them grow into strong, autonomous women.
Read the book and stay for the author’s notes for insight into the myths and folktales, as well as her inspirations for each.
