Their Fractured Light by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner: *siiiigh* I was a major black sheep for This Shattered World, so much so that I’m very skeptical about the conclusion to the trilogy. But I think it’s worth a shot. I do want more original sci-fi in my life. I just hope these characters win my heart.

Spinning Thorns by Anna Sheehan: Okay, I always want more fairy tale retellings, and I do adore Sleeping Beauty. But it confuses me slightly that this author is doing a SECOND Sleeping Beauty retelling. I mean, this one sounds more fantasy while A Long, Long Sleep was sci-fi. But still. But on the other hand, that cover and premise. Me wants.
Ohhh, excellent picks! I cannot wait for the last book in the TBS series.I am sad it’s ending but I think Kaufman and Spooner are going to do it justice. I have faith, especially after Illuminae.
How did I not know Anna Sheehan had a new novel coming out!? I picked up a Long Long Sleep because of you and Christina made me curious. So this is awesome to hear she’s pubbing again… and very odd it’s a retelling of the same tale. Let’s hope you’re right that this is more fantasy and they aren’t too similar.
I guess Sheehan had enough ideas for another Sleeping beauty retelling. I’m all in for it, haha. I love that cover and I liked A long, long sleep, so I hope this turns out to be a success as well 🙂
Barg, this is the second time I have seen Spinning Thorns, and now I want it even more. The cover is beautiful, and Sleeping Beauty retellings needs a bit more coverage!
