I didn't dislike this, it's actually a great story and it's such a poignant subject matter especially given the current climate. My main issue is that I just didn't vibe with any of the characters and I'm such a character driven reader that if I'm not invested in at least one character I'm not invested in the story and that was the sad truth about this book for me! I definitely recommend reading it but it just wasn't fully my cup of tea!

Motherland: Fort Salem is a dark fantasy full of twists and turns to keep you glued to each episode. No one is as they seem and the characters change as the season progresses. It is funny and sad, loving and full of sorrow. Each episode leaves you wanting more ESPECIALLY the last one which keeps you on the edge of your seat!
An absolutely fantastic series I am so happy to have found and I can't wait for season two!

Sleeping Beauty or The Snow Queen?
Even though I liked the book I didn't see the connection to Sleeping Beauty. I drew more parallels to the Snow Queen. The curse that strips someone of emotion all the references to ice get my point? I mean, there are SEVERAL versions of the Sleeping Beauty tale none of which I saw.
Yes, Jade is given a storybook with that particular tale but that's the only time I saw the connection. It honestly makes me sad.

Oh these boots were definitely made for walking!
As a huge fan of the film and musicals in general, this had a lot to live up to. But I was happy. It was so very well done and captured the humor and magic of the film.
Was I sad they did not sing "these boots were made for walking" or the medaly at the end of the film? Yes. But it was still brilliant. A great musical experience.
