A lot of modern poetry has deeper meaning and tells a story that many can relate to and these certainly did. It told the story with elements of today’s societal flaws in between the lines. The interpretation of each story wasn’t just different from the classic tale. I honestly couldn’t put this book down because I wanted to keep reading the different adaptations of the stories I’ve know since I was a child. Gill’s take on classic fairytales is unique and gives the meaning to the stories a whole new perspective. This particular book is the best of both worlds because it includes both poems and short stories. Keeping with the poetry theme, I decided to put a couple of books of poetry on hold at the library and of course all three came at once and I’m loving reading them all. Nikita Gill’s Fierce Fairytales: Poems & Stories to Stir Your Soul Book seventeen of my 2019 Reading Challenge.
