Sasha, your review is 3231 words long. That's around the length of one of my shorter chapters. I hope you’re not a writer as well as a reader/reviewer

"Boring. Mostly bland and blah characters. Way too much bad French. "

Good one. Imagine if we all had a drink every time a Goodreads reviewer posted a cruel comment?

"This was bad. Really, truly bad. In fairness, I listened to this as an audiobook, and, given how many five-star reviews it got, and how few one-star reviews it got, I might be willing to concede that the issue lies with the truly terrible narrator wh"

"To quote Mean Girls, "Damn, Kell Woods, what happened?"
I really loved the first book of hers I've read, After the Forest, which was a mashup of Hansel & Gretel and Snow White. But this book, which is meant to be a mashup of Cinderella and The Little " Read more of this review » |

“And old enough to know that womenfolk have little enough power of their own. That is why they must have their charms and their tricks. Their books and their ink and blood. Their eyes, their smiles, their hips; their lace and silk, their ribbons and thread …These are your weapons, dearie. You must use them as best you can.”
― After the Forest

“A woman knows her own
truth. It’s a gift she is born with that, like so much else, is quickly stolen by
the world. By priests with their talk of sin and wickedness and shame, by
men who learned long ago how best to use women for their own pleasure
and advantage. Instead of speaking from their hearts, their souls, women are
told to heed their father, their husband, their God. Instead of choosing their
own path, they are told to obey. Even so, their souls always know the truth.
Always. Do not be afraid to give yours voice.”

“Jane, be still; don't struggle so like a wild, frantic bird, that is rending its own plumage in its desperation."
"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being, with an independent will; which I now exert to leave you.”
― Jane Eyre

“You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.”
