i want to leave a list here for anyone wanting to read the original bluebeard story, retellings, or similar stories. i had to read many versions for an essay in undergrad & still have a list compiled!
• Bluebeard by Charles Perrault (1697) • Fitcher’s Bird by the Brothers Grimm (1812) • The Robber Bridegroom by the Brothers Grimm (1812) • Mr. Fox by Joseph Jacobs (1890) • Mr. Bluebeard published in Jamaican Song and Story (1907) • Mast-Truan published in Pueblo Indian Folk-Stories (1910) • Bluebeard by Edna St. Vincent Millay (1917) • The Forbidden Room published in Folk-Lore of the Sea Islands, South Carolina (1923) • Bluebeard’s Egg by Margaret Atwood (1983) • The Classic Fairy Tales, Second Norton Critical Edition, edited by Maria Tartar (2017), has a really great introduction to the Bluebeard stories, reviewing changes in analysis, symbolism, themes, & retellings over time. Highly recommend starting here if you want a broad overview! She also talks about the three “features” of a bluebeard story - (1) forbidden chamber, (2) agent of prohibition who also metes out punishment, & (3) figure who violates the prohibition. • Sour Cherry by Natalia Theodoridou (2025; full length novel!)
I know there are also film adaptations & retellings, but I am not as familiar with them. if you know of any more, pls feel free to drop them below! :)

This one’s a little hard for me to review ngl. I have nothing but good things to say about it - the characters were so well written and there’s a beautifully composed contrast between Liana and Melia, giving you different perspectives about the same reality they live in and how different their lives are, but how they still connect in different ways; the way the book plays with timelines is so interesting and goes beyond simple rules and brings a more complex aspect that also affects the characters’ lives and their conflicts and how the gods also play a part in that; and the prose was truly beautiful and combined so well with how heavy the plot sometimes was.
However, I just didn’t love reading it. A lot of times I wasn’t that interested in the story and was just kinda bored, and almost had to drag myself to finish it. I did really enjoy discussing this book in the forum (shout out to all the big brains there) and I think that helped me be a little more invested in the characters and the main plot and to want to find out how everything would wrap up in the end.
