Fractured Fairytales By Book Gannet I really enjoyed this short story, it’s interesting and clever and I never knew what fairytale it would reference next. There’s magic and mystery as well as a touch of romance, as Adamina sets about discovering first what’s been stealing the women and children from Edge village and then how to stop it.I really liked the magic of the Huntresses and how the magic connected Adamina to the forest, as well as her use of blood magic for good purposes. I have to admit I’d have loved if this had been longer because I found almost everything about it so curious and constantly wanted to know more – about the Red and White Queens, about the wolves, about Adamina herself and how she trained to be a Huntress, and pretty much everything else that was mentioned – but considering the short length of this tale the pacing is good.Okay, so perhaps some things are dealt with a little too swiftly, the flirting tended to crop up at random moments, and I’d have really, really loved to have known more about why the plant was so deadly, but on the whole this was great. The mix of original fantasy with traditional fairytales was fun as well as clever, making instant world-building connections without taking up too much text. In all this was a great addition the the Damsels in Distress collection and I’ll definitely be looking out for more from this author.(I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.)

Cleverly blended fairy tales retold in an erotic quest By La Crimson Femme Cleverly blended fairy tales retold in an erotic quest is quite impressive. New to me author, Ms. Derr is one I will want to read more of because her writing style is alluring and erotic. In BROKEN FOREST, Adamina is a Huntress. She is gifted with the power to help right the wrongs. When she is called to save women and girls who have been kidnapped into the Broken Forest, she bites off more than she can chew. What I liked about this story is how fairy tales of old are blended together and reformed into an interesting new world. One can only hope Ms. Derr will write more in this world. The teasing hints of Adamina's parents beg for another story. Learning more about Adamina would also be delightful. There does seem to be a sly tongue in cheek humour in this book. Because it feels like Ms. Derr is writing to a specific audience who know her inside jokes. I felt as though I kept missing something important and that it is just outside of my reach in comprehension. From a character perspective, Adamina and her lady love, Grete are straightforward. There isn't much character development. Adamina is an interesting "female" and this one piece I'm not sure I really understood. It came out of left field for me and I'm okay with it because Adamina's type of female is my ultimate wet dream. She's the best of both worlds. The real focus is the plot and the quest-like journey. The way Ms. Derr blends in Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast and Rapunzel is delightful. The obstacles thrown in Adamina's way are not easily conquered and this makes it better for me. The slight plot twist did throw me a little and I liked it. This erotic tale will keep a reader's attention from page one. Recommended for fairy-tale retold kinky readers who enjoy Sapphic delights.* Review copy provided via Reading Alley in exchange for an honest review.

The Broken Forest is a very dark sort of twist on the traditional fairy tale, exploring not so much the archetype by the consequences of it. Megan Derr has crafted a powerful fantasy about two powerful women, each of them outsiders in their own way, facing off against the remnants of the Rapunzel tale. In this case, however, it's a much darker fairy tale, one of madness, murder, tragedy, and lingering horrors. To say much more than that would be to spoil the story, but it's a twist that's both innovative and powerful.While I hesitate to call this a feminist fairy tale, only because of the political connotations that term holds for some, it is most definitely a story of strong women and gender roles. Adamina is a huntress, a dark-skinned, red-eyed warrior who sacrificed herself to the magic of her destiny, serving as protector and defender of the forests within the kingdom. She's the kind of woman villagers summon when there's no other hope, but only with great fear and reservation. Her kind aren't particularly liked, but they are respected for their power. Grete, on the other hand, is a more traditional witch, a woman who lives in the forest, crafting small talismans and performing minor acts of healing for those in need. Witches are no more liked and no less feared than the Huntresses, with the prejudices and fears of the villagers slowly erasing them from the world.The partnership between Huntress and Witch is wonderful because it works on so many levels. Here are two powerful women, born of magic, who are outcasts to the villagers of the woods. Both have a connection to the forest, and a responsibility to care for it and everything in it. Grete, as it turns out, also has a deeper connection to the monsters of the tale, owing to her role in the Rapunzel tale, while Adamina is the only woman who can soothe the poisoned, maddened beasts, coming as she does from a magically significant family.Finally, this is a wonderfully gender positive and sexually diverse tale that doesn't make a big deal about it. Adamina is transgender, but it's neither a problem nor an issue worthy of note. It's simply part of her character. Derr makes an offhand reference to her genitalia early on, and notes the flatness of her chest when Grete is bandaging a wound, but it's of far less note than her red eyes. Similarly, the budding romance between Adamina and Grete is neither celebrated for being unique nor condemned for being unusual. It's just a friendship with sexual undertones that brings the two women together, and which drives our happily ever after.All-in-all, The Broken Forest is just a lovely tale, the perfect blend of fantasy, horror, and romance, with two wonderful heroines. I do hope Derr continues with the theme and explores more of her fairy tale world.Review copy provided via Reading Alley in exchange for an honest review.
