Fairy Layers: May 2012
http://fairylayers.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Reviews and recommendations of fairy tale, folklore, and mythology adaptations. Monday, May 14, 2012. A Tale of Two Castles by Gail Carson Levine. I have no hesitation on this one. I love Gail Carson Levine's work, and A Tale of Two Castles. Luckily for Elodie, she soon crosses paths with - and then impresses - Two Castle's resident dragon Meenore. Soon the two of them are entangled in politics and plotting, and trying to protect the shape-shifting Ogre, Count Jonty Om. If you liked Ella Enchanted. By Na...

Fairy Layers: The Silver Bough by Lisa Tuttle
http://fairylayers.blogspot.com/2012/07/silver-bough-by-lisa-tuttle.html
Reviews and recommendations of fairy tale, folklore, and mythology adaptations. Friday, July 13, 2012. The Silver Bough by Lisa Tuttle. Was a recent treasure I found, thanks to the recommendation of a friend - I'd never even heard of it. Featuring an ancient and mysterious library, a strange blessing/curse tied up with apple trees, and a misty island that is half in and half out of this world: it was just my cup of tea. January 9, 2013 at 2:38 PM. I just discovered your blog from Spinning Straw into Gold...

Fairy Layers: February 2012
http://fairylayers.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Reviews and recommendations of fairy tale, folklore, and mythology adaptations. Friday, February 17, 2012. Juliet Immortal by Stacey Jay. And we're swinging by Shakespeare again this week with. By Stacey Jay. Isn't that a luscious cover? It would make me want to read this book even if I wasn't a fan of Shakespeare retellings already. Although this isn't so much a retelling as a "and then what," which intrigued me even more - they're dead, right? Not quite your typical ghost story, Juliet Immortal. Plays ...

Fairy Layers: August 2012
http://fairylayers.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Reviews and recommendations of fairy tale, folklore, and mythology adaptations. Friday, August 10, 2012. Breadcrumbs by Anne Ursu. Although this looks like it should be a version of Hansel and Gretel, it's actually a retelling of The Snow Queen. (Although it does have some Hansel and Gretel-esque moments.) In fact, the story borrows from several other traditional folktales, but mostly is about Hazel battling through to free her friend, both from capture and from the emotional danger he is in. The premise...
