These are three of my favorites reads this year, and they all feel like they’re in conversation with each other. Each deals with fairytales in ways that go beyond mere retellings, and each one has stunning prose that really made me fall in love.

When I do art for other people, I usually send two or three pose options before I draw the whole scene, and they never pick my favourite, ain't it the way

You don’t have to take up a sword. Survival is bravery too.

What defines a romance? All scholars seem to converge on a single point: it is a story that must have a happy ending. And why is that? I say, it is because a romance is a belief in the impossible: that anything ends happily. For the only true end is death--and in this way, is romance not a rebuke of morality? When love is here, I am not. When love is not, I am gone. Perhaps a romance is a story with no end at all; where the end is but a wardrobe with a false back, leading to stranger and more merciful worlds.

What is a mermaid but a woman half-drowned, What a selkie but an unwilling wife, What a tale but a sea-net, snatching up both From the gentle tumult of dark waves?

The danger was real. Effy and Angharad had both proven that, with their wits and their mirrors. The danger lived with her; perhaps it had been born with her, if the rest of the stories about changeling children were to be believed. The danger was as ancient as the world. But if fairies and monsters were real, so were the women who defeated them.

"I refuse mirrors," the Fairy King said. "I refuse them for you, and I refuse them for me. If you want to see what you are, look into the tide pools at dusk. Look into the sea."

“I was a girl when he came for me, beautiful and treacherous, and I was a crown of pale gold in his black hair.

And then, behind the tree line, a flash of white. Wet black hair. Even a sliver of face, pale as moonlight.”

There was something sick in me, something wrong. Even baby birds knew how to shriek, even kittens knew how to mewl, even puppies knew how to whine. Papa had told me I hadn’t even cried when he’d pulled me from between my mother’s thighs. I hadn’t protested when he dragged me through the streets of Oblya, hadn’t protested when Rose had chided me or when Undine had slapped me. My eldest sister was right; I would smile blithely if someone tried to saw off my leg. But no one had ever told me that I was allowed to scream.

“Your love cannot make me less of a monster”

Sevas let out a breath. “I wouldn’t presume my love could do such a thing. I would have you as you are, nothing less.”
