I received a copy in exchange for an honest review. Thank you so, so much, Tor! 

Thornhedge was an enchanting retelling of Sleeping Beauty with a heartwarming uniqueness that has earned T. Kingfisher's books a well-deserved place among my favorites. The delightfully short novella follows the familiar story of a princess sleeping in a tower and the fairy who put her there, but turns everything on its head, giving readers the preciously polite Toadling, the unsettling Fayette, and the knight Halim who follows old stories to find much more than he expected. 

I would recommend this book if you're already a fan of T. Kingfisher and looking for spins on old tales much like Nettle & Bone or the forthcoming A Sorceress Comes to Call, or if you're looking for a quick sample of her charming characters and fantasy style! I think I have fallen into the pitfall of having 5-star standout favorites already that are very hard not to compare to, but I did still very much enjoy this read. It has most things I already love about Kingfisher's writing in a very short tale, but I think I'll usually (and probably greedily) love the longer ones best. I love staying in her worlds.
