❄️“In all the old stories, the only thing that ever won was love. And occasionally a good sharp knife.” ❓Do you usually enjoy fairytale retellings? What is your favorite? Winter is still here, so for those who still want to read something seasonal, I have this recommendation. The Raven and The Reindeer by T.Kingfisher is a whimsical and sly Snow Queen retelling, so I think, there is no need to dive deep into the plot description. But as always with T.Kingfisher's books, it's not what it seems. This book has another tone from the original fairytale and puts the accent on other parts of the story. And even though our plot is rather similar to Gerta's quest in the fairytale, the results and the meanings are quite different - and for me, it's the part that really matters. I liked Gerta's character and her companions a lot, and her adventures were engaging and sometimes a little bit disturbing. The book is full of humor and strangeness and a whimsical fairytale mood. Also T.Kingfisher loves adding animal companions into her stories and this one isn't an exception. Here we have a grumpy raven and you'll love him. And talking otters are pure joy and they are so hilarious. I just love how T.Kingfisher manages to surprise me and bring new amazing and unexpected animal companions every time. All in all, it's a great and short winter read for those who love strange books and modern fairytale reimaginings. #theravenandthereindeer #tkingfisher https://www.instagram.com/p/Corn3jVLnvZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
