Entertaining read; not outstanding, but also not uninspired. This would have led to 2.5 stars (= mediocre), but there was one fact that I really enjoyed: same-gender relationships were not depicted as a taboo, scandalous or even something special, but as something utterly normal. I really liked that...

I absolutely enjoyed every story in this book. Some were dark and creepy and reminded me of tales for the dark side or like maybe I stepped into the twilight zone. Then others were my favorites like Hanson and Greta. The 3 lil pigs one the beauty and the beast ones they were all amazing and well fit...

I've had this book on my TBR list since i was 17? 18? its been quite a while and I've been looking forward to it for what seems like forever! much to my disappointment it wasn't as spectacular as i had hoped, I'll admit i imagine if i read it when i first added it to my TBR list i probably would of ...
Hey Ashers!
Hey Ashers! rated it 9 years ago
Spoiler Rating: High Hey Katie, I won't lie; I rushed through Ash years ago, and didn't particularly like it. It was marketed to me as a lesbian Cinderella story, and if there are two things that'll perk my ears up, it's lesbian characters and Cinderella stories. So I settled down with Ash and a...

I wasn't sure if I wanted to read this book, because I was a bit bored when I read Ash. I definitely liked this book a lot better. The plot was fast-paced and the characters were much more interesting. Despite the long length of the book, the plot felt like it moved fairly quickly and kept the reade...

This is going in my #LGBT tag because there is at least the Malinda Lo story, but unfortunately its 99% hetero shit. Basically the majority of my thoughts on this anthology was "it could have been gayer, also there was an opportunity for a gay trans man and you missed it." Here are my thoughts now t...

You have no idea how much I wanted to love Ash. I mean, a Cinderella retelling where Cinderella (Ash) is a lesbian? Count me in! For sure!For such an interesting and original premise, Ash was pretty dull. Pretty much NOTHING happens throughout the whole book. There is no conflict that has to be reso...

When Ash's father dies, she finds herself the servant of her stepmother and stepsisters. Her only comfort are the fairy tales her mother used to read her as a child. Ash's best hope for getting out of her situation is to be taken by the fairies, and when she meets the fairy Sidhean, it looks like he...

Like a lot of the other reviews of this book, I had really high expectations after reading what it was about, but the novel ultimately fell short. I am not much into fairy tales, but the idea of "Cinderella" not choosing the prince and falling in love with a woman instead was pretty appealing to me....

Inheritance isn't a bad book, it just didn't do anything for me. I want to like Malinda Lo, but whenever I read her books I'm just left disappointed. I thought the romantic plotline was interesting, but it dominated the story. I wish it had been a little romance and a lot more aliens. Also the end...
