A Spindle Splintered (Fractured Fables, #1)
Alix E. Harrow
It's Zinnia Gray's twenty-first birthday, which is extra-special because it's the last birthday she'll ever have. When she was young, an industrial accident left Zinnia with a rare condition. Not much is known about her illness, just that no one has lived past twenty-one. Her best friend Charm is intent on making Zinnia's last birthday special with a full sleeping beauty experience, complete with a tower and a spinning wheel. But when Zinnia pricks her finger, something strange and unexpected happens, and she finds herself falling through worlds, with another sleeping beauty, just as desperate to escape her fate.

0okay so it's a fairytale retelling with a "harold, they're lesbians" joke so that automatically makes it great
0Alix E. Harrow has once again written a masterpiece, starting her new Fractured Fables series off with a bang -- A Spindle Splintered is exciting and a little heartbreaking, packing a tremendous amount of character development into a very short novella. Zinnia is a compelling heroine, surrounded by interesting and complex secondary characters, and living in a world that drags the reader in and leaves them begging for more. Amy Landon's narration does not add much to the story, but nor does it particularly detract from the gem that is A Spindle Splintered.
Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for providing me an ALC in exchange for an honest review!
