However, as the story progresses, she does as well.
The goose girl in this retelling is Princess Alyrra-meek, honest and so ‘common’, which can be annoying to anyone who’s not a fan of main characters like this. Of course, as all retellings are, there are some features of the original that have been changed. Here, we find all the traits that belongs to this classic fairy tale, but fleshed out, diversified and given cultures and identities other than just ‘princess’, ‘chambermaid’ and ‘kingdom’. Thorn by Intisar Khanani is a solid and brilliant retelling of The Goose Girl (AT Type 533 for those who study folklore) by Brothers Grimm. Okay, I admit that I was a little daunted by how thick this ARC is when I finally got it in my hands, but 456 pages later and some moments in between spent crying? I am in love. Thank you so much Pansing for sending me a copy of this ARC in exchange for an honest review! Thorn by Intisar Khanani will be available at all good bookstores.
