Wishes and Sorrows by Cindy Lynn Speer

5.0

I picked up two books by Robin McKinley in 2011. Since then I have been trying to find an equal. A fantasy book that could capture my childish wonder and match my Adult intelligence. Wishes and Sorrows by Cindy Lynn Speer was that book for me. After reading two stories for this book of anthologies, I could not believe what I had stumbled on. I am in love with her writing. Cindy was able to retell these old fairytale but with a believable twist of her own. Even my less favorite fairy tale were able to shine with her voice added to it. Beautiful, creepy, and tear jerking in 30 pages or less!! I’m in LOVE <3 (5 out of 5)
