Spinning Starlight
By R.C. Lewis
This week's book is the first book of the new year for my book group. Spinning Starlight is the retelling of the fairy tale Wild Swans or Seven Swans, depending on what version you have read in the past. I had loved the original fairy tale when I had read it in highschool and I was excited to read it when this book was pitched to my book group.
The young adult novel is set in a future and is really science fiction like. I'm going to be honest with you, I struggle with sci-fi sometimes. I like the plots and all but sometimes I'm not smart enough or technically savvy enough, and I don't quite understand all the items that they are explaining. I still enjoyed the book but I might have done better understanding it if I had my husband read it too so he could field the tech questions. I would say that this book is a great adaptation of the classic fairy tale. If you enjoy the fairy tale you definitely need to check it out. If you haven't read the original I still think you can enjoy the book.
