This was the reason Americans shot each other so often: It was a convenient literary device for ending short stories and books.

"You expect heroes to survive terrible things. If you give them a medal, then you don't ever have to ask why the terrible thing happened in the first place. Or try to fix it. How else are you gonna have heroes?" -A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking, T. Kingfisher

A moodboard inspired by Mona from A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking.

Sylvia Locke and the Three Bears Tairy Fails: Book 1 by David Horn

RED ALERT FOR FAIRY TALE LAND: Sylvia Locke is out and ready to cause mischief.

Once upon a time in Fairy Tale Land, there lived a very bad girl indeed. Sylvia Locke may have been abandoned by her adventuring parents but that’s no excuse for being mean to her loving grandparents, rude to everyone at school, and even bullying rare magical creatures. Right?

One day, when out on a break-and-enter job at the Bear family’s house, Sylvia happens upon a magical mirror that turns out to be more than she bargained for. Could even a kid like Sylvia find a friend? Could some warm and fuzzies change her heart?

--

3.75 Stars but rounding up to 4 Stars To sum everything up, this is your modern fairy tale with fanciful twists!

Thank you very much BookSirens for the Advance Reader Copy in exchange for an honest review.

First and foremost, let's talk about the book cover, shall we? This is definitely what I would expect from a modern version of our beloved classic fairy tale. This gives whimsical, adventurous, mischievous, and classic yet modern.

I find this cover perfectly fitting with the story.

Now, the title. It is very catchy I must say, however, what does "Tairy" signify?

We all know that this was based on Goldilocks and the Three Bears and Sylvia Locke gives a nice ring for this modern version. The chapter titles were engaging and whimsical as well. I enjoyed each of them. All the places mentioned in this book were very funny too!

Moving on to the story and the plot itself - I love that Sylvia Locke has a backstory.

The story eventually unfolds everything and explains why things happened the way they did and why the main character acted specifically like that in specific chapters.

Most importantly, the book and the author, teach us valuable lessons which may differ from one person to another.

Why 3.75 Stars? There were parts I found messy and things were a bit all over the place. Some things were left unexplained and perhaps, I will find answers as the series continues.

This is a good book, don't get me wrong. It is perfect for kids and elementary readers. Sometimes, Sylvia and her attitude were just too much for me.

And at the Epilogue, did we get a snippet of Book 2? Exciting!

I finished my second book of 2024!

Honestly, why are we remaking the same tired Disney movies when interesting and original concepts centered on the IP exist. I don't know what I loved more, the concept of the Blood Tide and the ghost ship or the twist towards the end that I'm surprised I didn't pick up on sooner! I can't wait to crack into the next one!

The common people pray for rain, healthy children and a summer that never ends. It is no matter to them if high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace. They never are.

Please for the love of God, go read this when it comes out in March!! It's so good, I really want it to succeed so the author can write more about this world and its characters!

The story is just so good, and I adored the world-building and the spiritualism systems. The main character is bi/ace and there's fantastic queer and trans representation in this novella!

#small gods of calamity #neam reads #asexual representation #bisexual representation #im not gonna lie i kicked my feet when the main character mentions off hand he's bi and ace #and im like JUST LIKE ME!!! #I have NEVER seen a bi/ace main character!!! i loved it!!! #books i read in 2024 #PLEASE GO READ THE EARC OR GET IT WHEN IT COMES OUT!!

According to Cat Bohannon, "most animals are essentially lumpy donuts filled with ocean" (30 Eve). This is coming from her book Eve: How The Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution.
