Review: The Goose Girl: A Classical Kingdoms Collection Short Retelling

The Goose Girl: A Classical Kingdoms Collection Short Retelling by Brittany Fichter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Short, sweet and intriguing from the first page.
A little bit dark with a sliver of hope.
A powerful and ruthless villain, outwitted by the doomed heroine to regain her happy ending (or beginning, if you think about it), with a bit of divine help and a perceptive and kind prince.

I loved it when I first read it. I loved it more when I re-read it last night.

As ever, I am awed again and again at the intricately woven world, carefully conceived characters and beautifully spinned tales by this author who shines with each written word she puts after much consideration and hard work into every work that I have read and those I have not, yet.

I will recommend this tale of sorcery, mayhem, friendship, betrayal and romance to all who love a good fairytale retelling that first saddens, then gradually warms and in the end, soothes the heart.
