jimhines' The Stepsister Scheme on seanan_mcguire's mother's recommendation.
Yes, really.
I sadly don't have time to give you a full review. Instead, I bring you three factual statements regarding my experience reading The Stepsister Scheme:
1. I was uncertain regarding his treatment of the fairy tale heroines at first, yet not only pleased with them by the end but also emotionally moved by their journeys.
2. The book is compulsively readable: there were several late nights where sacrificing sleep so I could find out what happened next seemed much more sensible than getting enough sleep for classes.
3. While reading, especially after the quest entered Fairytown, I often found myself thinking, "This is like some of my fondly-remembered childhood Saturday morning cartoons. ... ...except dirtier."
Thumbs up! Go buy it!
