We all know I love a good Arthurian Legend retelling--and Legendborn is one of the best since Once & Future. Get ready for Black Girl Magic and a well woven fantasy. Legendborn kept me on the edge of my seat and was the perfect retelling.

Somewhere in time, super-young-Jessica has been slowly having a complete emotional fit of excitement over Midnight Sun. I mean, how long have we been waiting for this to be released in full? A LONG TIME. And Stephenie Meyer finally delivered.

We all know two facts about me: (1) I own more books by Melissa de la Cruz than probably any other author (although, Cassandra Clare and Krista and Becca Ritchie ARE sneaking in on that territory) and (2) I love Little Women. Like. A lot. And, what happens when you love Little Women? You are always foaming at the mouth for more content. Always.

April Genevieve Tucholke proves once again that she is a standout voice in YA literature with this gorgeous retelling of the Arthurian Legend. (No, I will never tire of good takes on this legend, okay?)

Anna K is exactly what I wanted it to be: a delightful and indulging spin on Anna Karenina, with just the right sprinkle of Gossip Girl vibes. Yum. One of my favourite classics just got a dazzling makeover.

Get ready for the next installment of Once & Future: the delightfully queer and adventurous spin on the classic Arthurian Legend. IT'S TIME TO GO ON A HEIST, PEOPLE! Sword in the Stars, here we come.

I solemnly swear that I'm not still studying the cover for Rogue Princess like it's a priceless piece of art. (It is, okay?)

Macbeth gets a modern Heathers treatment. If you like Shakespeare retellings, then get ready for the dark and indulgent Foul is Fair.

Little Women is one of my favourite classics. And, well, we know I'm trash for retellings! Get ready for Meg and Jo.

Did someone say a modern, Cinderella retelling? About an author? UM, yes, hello, I'm sold. Sign me up.

Cursed was my second Arthurian Legend retelling this year and all I can say is CAN I HAVE THE NETFLIX ADAPTATION NOW? I need. I. NEED.

Is anybody else humming the entire score to Disney's Beauty and the Beast, right now? Just me?

Geekerella made me feel like maybe I'd have loved it, if I were a few years younger. It was still a fun read, though, make no mistake.

The Enchanted Sonata by Heather Dixon Wallwork | Rating: ★★★★★

As a note, a copy of this novel was sent to me via NetGalley by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not effect my opinions in any way.

I needed a book like this, at a time like this. I'm so glad I was able to read it. There are books that are so vivid and fast-paced, and purely magical, that they are the ultimate getaway from ordinary. After the last few months from h*ll, this was one of those rare bright spots. In short? The Enchanted Sonata was positively stunning and sweet. I could not put it down.

Heather Dixon Wallwork crafts a delightfully musical, re-imagined version of two beloved classics: The Nutcracker Ballet and The Pied Piper. Two titles I would have never thought to put together, but that work so, so well. The Enchanted Sonata is for the readers who love to dream and a total must-have for fans of The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert or ABC's Once Upon A Time.

The Enchanted Sonata is so gripping, and so full of energy, I could not put it down and shuddered anytime I actually had to. It follows the familiar themes of the stories it is based upon, but the end product is a new kind of story and wholly its own. Breath-taking, unique, yet undeniably familiar.
