T. Kingfisher's Thornhedge
This is Kingfisher's take on Sleeping Beauty, except the heroine is a little fairy who can turn into a toad, Sleeping Beauty is locked up for a reason, and the guy coming to check things out is a sweet Muslim knight (I think during the age of the Crusades) who wants to investigate an old legend. Sometimes sad and occasionally grim but overall a lovely story. I don’t think this book needed to be longer, but my favorite Kingfisher books tend to be a little meatier. Still, I did really like this. A/A-.
