    5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful fairy tale compilation
    Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    This compilation of reimagined fairy tales was absolutely fantastic. I loved every single story, though Cleanly Wrong is my favorite. The author did a great job hitting that "fairy tale" feel which I feel like can be hit or miss with reimagined fairy tales. I liked how a few of the stories had overlapping characters so we got to see how some favorites were doing. I was just sad Wrong and his prince were not among those I got so see again.

    Note: One really nice thing was that while some of these had been previously published, there were many new ones too so the book was definitely worth the buy even if you have read one or two of the previously published stories.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful collection of LGBTQ fairy tale retellings
    Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2021
    When I started reading this anthology, I remembered that when I requested it the stories were LGBTQ, but I had forgotten that all of the stories were M/M. Not that this was an issue, I just kept expecting other representations of LGBTQ within the stories until I realized that wouldn’t be the case. That being said, I really enjoyed this collection! It did start to feel a little long at about the 80% mark (this anthology is 456 pages) so I wouldn’t recommend doing what I did and just reading it straight through. Take your time and read a story here and there. All-in-all I truly loved all of the stories in this collection except for the 2nd and 3rd to last stories which is where the anthology started to drag for me. The stories weren’t bad by any means, they just didn’t strike me and stick with me like the others did. Luckily, the anthology ended with a bang and I loved the last story! I’m not going to go into ever story, but here are a few of my favorites:

    • The Tower – A take on Rapunzel but with a man instead and the tower is used as a watchtower to protect their land of Monrath. Every 7 years the guard in the tower switches. The MC, Ishiah, finds a hidden basement with magical relics belonging to the tower’s original wizard owner, Zel.

    • Cleanly Wrong – A story about brownies (Scottish folklore) and about one specific brownie who fails out of brownie school because he won’t clean the way they are supposed to. Doing things based on convenience for the homeowner instead of just always organizing the same way (i.e. color coding or alphabetizing). He hides in the prince’s castle and only cleans those closed off areas of the castle so as not to get caught as the prince has stated no brownie is allowed in the castle.

    • Cinder-Elle – Cinderella retelling with a son and two stepsons. Elle dresses as a woman to be able to attend the ball and he cannot know that the person, Theo, that he is in love with is actually the prince. I loved the secondary characters in the story. There is a great nod to the original Cinderella story where here story is actually taking place congruently to the MC’s story.

    • The Curse – Aurora (Rory) is the princess and soon to be queen who falls under the sleeping beauty spell. The frog prince is included as well as a direct tie-in to the first story, The Tower.

    • The Beast – Based on Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. The cruel ruler that was trying to take over Monrath in The Curse is cursed by Ishiah and Zel, the mains from The Tower.

    Highly recommended if you enjoy fairy tale retellings/reimaginings and LGBTQ fiction.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fairy tales to improve reality
    Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2021
    I’ve been reading gay takes on classic fairy tales for years, especially this past year, and this book is the best so far. The author did so much more than making the love interest same-sex; for example, in one story they added in a physical disability. As someone with a disability, I know how rare it is to find a main character anything less than physically perfect. I also enjoyed how they tied together some of the more well-known tales from our childhood and gave them all a happy ending, even a seeming villain. In these trying times, from plague to coup, escaping into fairy tales is just right.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fairy tale re-tellings with LGBTQIA+ representation
    Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2021
    This collection of 9 short stories feature fairy tale re-tellings with LGBTQIA+ representation. There are 3 Cinderella re-tellings, a Rapunzel re-imagining, and some other tales for which I was not familiar with the source material.

    'A Heart's Dream,' 'The Red Apple Witch' and 'Cinder-Elle' were my absolute favorites in this collection. Three other stories were set in the same universe and some of the characters in the first story appear in the other two, which was nice to see.

    'A Heart's Dream' - Shape-shifting includes gender shifting and a gender-fluid MC.

    'The Red Apple Witch' - The plot is genius, back story is so creative. I wish this was a full-length novel, to explore the three main characters further.

    'Cinder-Elle' - This story was very carefully thought out, especially its plot twists. This made me feel sorrow, as usual for Cinderella tales, but this was very well-done.

    I voluntarily read a Review Copy of this book. All opinions stated are solely my own and no one else’s.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great collection of fairy tales
    Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2021
    M/M retelling of several fairytales, (though not explicit). Several of the more well known tales are turned a little off center. Characters woven together from different tales created an interesting new take on the old familiar stories. There were even two I wasn’t acquainted with.

    The Rapunzel story was my favorite. Totally different but keeping to the integrity of the original. I loved the Beast. His pain was palpable. This author has a way of pulling me into her books. I realize the purpose of an anthology is to introduce the reader to snippets of stories but I wish some would of been a little longer.

    As a fan of fairytales, both the sweet, sanitized versions and the darker, bloodier ones, I found this retelling to be very satisfying.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Collection
    Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2021
    A Little Fairy Dust is a wonderful collection. I loved these LGBTQ+ twists on classic fairy tales. Although I have to admit I love a good fairytale retelling, this one was just magical! Some of the stories were more fun than others, and before you're intimidated by the length, remember there are *NINE* stories in this colleciton to enjoy. I think #4 The Red Apple Witch was my favorite. I don't want to give any spoilers, but if you enjoy fairy tales you're going to love this book!
