Book Review: Unblemished by Sara Ella . I love Stardust in novel form and they do a good job with the BBC Dramatization.

A Kaleidoscope of Butterflies book review. It was brilliant. The cast did a fantastic job and the show was really well written! I will definitely be listening to it again! Not only because it’s plot chiefly concerns a fairy tale quest for a lady’s hand, but also because it has all the magic and mystery of Victorian romanticism behind it making it very much feel like George McDonald for grownups. And yet, Gaiman writes her with more than enough personality to make her endearing, rather than irritating, I particularly admire the way that he does allow her to have a temper and comically spar with Tristran, but keeps the sparring within the bounds of decency and never lets it become actively vicious.
