A Truly Modern Fairytale
A stunningly breathtaking movie, that takes you on an amazing journey. I was lucky to see this in 3D, as I feel some of the magic would be lost in the 2D version. So lovely to see justice paid to such a beautiful book.

Such a great book! Agniezska (pronounced ag-NYESH-Kahn) is a wonderful heroine. Humble loyal and a bit of a mess, she leaves her home valley to live with a terrifying lord wizard named Dragon. Slightly graphic in some places, this modern Eastern European flavored fairytale will spark anyone's imagination.

Tahereh Mafi has an incredible gift. Her writing is beautiful in a way that isn't seen much these days. This companion to Furthermore is another glorious fairytale that I couldn't get enough of. I truly hope she continues this captivating series.

**Thanks to edelweiss and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own.**

"Another brilliant adaptation, this time of a Davis Grubb novel (a bestseller). It’s a gothic fairytale of childhood, full of shadows and silhouettes and countless images that linger in your head forever after. I first saw this as a kid, and the stupendously terrifying Robert Mitchum (as a murderous “man of god”) still hasn’t left my haunted unconscious."

Clever use of language to engage a reader (0 more)
The film really doesn't do the book justice yet sadly is more well known (0 more)
Young adult and above fairytale for the imaginative
Neil Gaiman knows how to weave words in an elaborate pattern so that within a few lines you are no longer reading the novel but are part of the story
  
A real-life twist on an old familiar fairy tale. It took me a little bit to get into this story, mainly because the tone was a bit stiff and formal. But once I did get into it, I fell in love. I enjoyed this story so much and I can't wait to read the rest of the Modern Fairytale series!
