Inked Reads's Reviews > Anastasia

Anastasia is a fairy tale. It's written in fairy tale style, a story that is told rather than shown, with lots of mystery. Too much mystery, at times, for me to figure out. People are cursed, villains are confusing, there are magic potions. But Anastasia is a competent, admirable heroine. She takes care of her adorably wicked little sister. She tries to bond with her new stepsister.

The interaction between the three young members of the family is compelling. I read this story fast, not wanting to put it down. There's a lesbian aspect, however it's more chaste than seductive. It's enough of a love story to feel satisfying without being a love story. In fact, it's what I usually want from more "mainstream"/non-romance books. "Okay, just like that, but more gay." So here's a fairy tale with a little bit of gay, but much more fairy tale. If this is your genre, you'll be happy adding this to your collection.
