![]() ![]() I’ll be picking up Lovelace’s second book soon, and reading that as well. I really enjoyed reading The Princess Saves Herself in This One, and I think most of you will too. ![]() I think you need to have an open mind, and an ability to read subject matter that isn’t always kind there is a trigger warning list before this book begins, and I highly recommend you read that before diving right in. I don’t think you need to like poetry to fall in love with this book. Reading about women overcoming obstacles is always fantastic, but reading this, a book about a real woman who truly had to fight her demons to become herself, was inspiring beyond belief. This is the story of a woman coming to realize her power and abilities, despite what has happened. ![]() It is a heavy book for one so brief and filled with poems, but it’s incredible. This is a book of poetry that follows our author through multiple hurdles in quite early stages of her life, dealing with boys, relationships, and death. I picked up The Princess Saves Herself in This One by Amanda Lovelace not knowing what exactly was in store, but I’m glad I checked it out. But sometimes, I need a little dose of nonfiction a moment to live in someone else’s story.

![]() ![]() It all made sense, so therefore it's probably scientifically flawed. This novel is time travel for the feeble minded (at least the feebly science-minded). It gives me a headache and I see movies like The Terminator as having an inexcusable plot hole, but really it's just me. Never having taken a Physics class, nor having any interest in it at all, I cannot typically handle the concept of time travel, as it requires me to think of time in a non-linear way. I couldn't WAIT to find out what was going to happen next! I don't usually get THIS enthralled with the young adult novels I read, but this was just darn good. I knew that this entered the "4 star" category when I drove across town to pick up the book from where I left it, after a fitful night of kicking myself for leaving it there. ![]() ![]() ![]() (A quick google search for Harry Clarke images will show you what we mean.) Doran's images do more than provide visuals for Gaiman's story and true to Clarke's style, we get an additional subtext layering the story - one that doesn't shy away from the darker themes Gaiman explores. Harry Clarke's work is both very 'fairy tale' (beautiful!) and at the same time feral. ![]() Here's what you need to know about the new graphic novel:Ĭolleen Doran took inspiration from (Neil Gaiman would say 'channeled') Irish Arts & Crafts genius Harry Clarke, famous for both his illustrations and his stained glass, to style her adaptation.

If you're not familiar with Gaiman's retelling you might want to know 'blood' is key in this version. Readers will know our Editor has a soft spot for Snow White, and may also know Neil Gaiman's Snow, Glass, Apples is one of her favorite retellings, (the audio recording is particularly memorable) so has had this pre-ordered since it was announced. But note - this is not your mother's Snow White. A graphic novel adaptation of Snow, Glass, Apples is nearing release, and the more we see, the more of artist Colleen Doran's work on this project, the more excited we are. ![]() ![]() The inhabitants levitated elevated on unseen puppet strings guided herky jerky marionette Punch & Judy Dance moves.
