They had me at Shakespeare and tragedy. 

I don't read a ton of historical fiction, but when I do, I love when it involves theater, families, and communities. This one has all three. 

Having just finished this author's novel A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking (excellent, great middle-grade fantasy that doesn't feel childish, though it's main character is 14), I am chomping at the bit to read this fractured reimagining of Sleeping Beauty. 

I know nothing about this apart from knowing that it's no spice romantasy. Sold. 

A young woman fights her mother to prevent her younger sister from suffering her fate: having her childhood co-opted by their mother for internet fame. 

After reading Nellie Bly's expose on the mental health system of the 19th and early 20th century, I am considering diving into this story of one woman, thrown into the same system, who fought to free herself and other women in the deeply flawed mental health complex.
