Glass and Feathers

"Highly recommended...I loved that the main characters spanned a wide age range, from a small boy to a wise older woman, all of them coming to vivid life on the page...You'll never think of those slippers the same way again."-Juliet Marillier, internationally acclaimed author of Daughter of the Forest

"I love the way it questions the idea of happily ever after, as well as the crystal-clear prose. The language is so pretty and fragile, helping to evoke the main character's mental state, creating a beautiful unity of effect."-Mary McMyne, author of The Book of Gothel

"[It's] a wonderful, fresh and convincing continuation of Cinderella's story"-Sophie Anderson, author of The House With Chicken Legs and The Girl Who Speaks Bear

"In Glass and Feathers, Sloan deftly examines the nature of "happily ever after," crafting a world...that also celebrates the power of fairy tales to heal. A compassionate and worthy successor to traditional Cinderella stories."-Shveta Thakrar, author of the Andre Norton Nebula Award finalist Star Daughter

"Any long-time reader of Lissa Sloan's astonishing volume of work with fairy tales will already know how deftly and uncannily she casts spells on readers with her words...You will want to make a permanent place on your shelf for this transformational tale."-Gypsy Thornton, Editor, The Wondering & Once Upon A Blog

"[It's] the kind of story I'd forgotten was worth reading the hard parts for: the ones that teach lessons, the ones that make us feel raw things...I highly recommend Glass and Feathers."-Grace Nuth, co-author of The Faerie Handbook

"A fascinating twist on Cinderella AFTER she marries the prince, it's got it all: interesting and well-crafted characters, lots of plot twists, beautiful imagery, and a depth of understanding of trauma that doesn't darken the sparkling magic that permeates every page."-Stephanie Goloway, author of Happily Ever Resilient

"I've read a lot of retellings and some of them have been inventive, but nothing as imaginative and creative and gorgeous and lush as this book...this is a novel-length Cinderella/All-Fur reimagination. I think it's the best I've ever read by far."-Susan Redington Bobby, creatrix of Professor of Words, LLC
