Dominik Parisien: The Starlit Wood: New Fairy Tales (2016, Saga Press, Gallery / Saga Press) 4 stars

Review of 'The Starlit Wood: New Fairy Tales' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Seasons of Glass and Iron drills into the way women are depicted in fairy tales. It combines elements from different tales to bring front two women, both bound by magic to tasks they really shouldn't be doing.

It spells out its message a bit too clearly, but maybe it sometimes needs spelling out. El-Mohtar builds the story well, and the style is well suited to a fairy tale. Excellent, short read.
