Written by Alex E. Harrow, A Spindle Splintered follows Zinnia, a terminally ill 21-year-old who finds herself swept into a multiverse alternate reality where curses are real and she finds herself helping a sleeping beauty, Primrose, in hopes of also helping herself.
I enjoyed this novel much more than Harrow’s other novel, 1000 doors of January.
Zinnia, and Char, are wonderful characters that just kept me going through this book – I wanted to know what would happen with Zinnia, and if her story would end or not.
If you are looking for a story with LGBTQ+ characters – the supporting characters in this story – and something with fantasy and strong female characters, give this book a chance. And the narrator is wonderful as well, her voice keeping the story floating along. (Also, she is fast enough that I don’t recommend speeding up her talking.)
This is one series that I DEFINITELY want to follow, as it looks like the sequel book coming out in 2022 is going to follow Zinnia, and I want to read what happens.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
