Dark and deepest red book6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Dark and Deepest Red is a story about the blood of fairy tales. Featuring a Romani girl and a trans boy, McLemore tells a story about love, prejudice, and self-acceptance. I love how McLemore is always like, “how can I make this more queer?” Dark and Deepest Red is no different. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) (Disclaimer: I received this book from Edelweiss. With McLemore’s signature lush prose, Dark and Deepest Red pairs the forbidding magic of a fairy tale with a modern story of passion and betrayal. But there’s more to what happened in 1518 than even Emil knows, and discovering the truth may decide whether Rosella survives the red shoes. They draw her toward a boy who knows the dancing fever’s history better than anyone: Emil, whose family was blamed for the fever five hundred years ago. As rumors of witchcraft spread, suspicion turns toward Lavinia and her family, and Lavinia may have to do the unimaginable to save herself and everyone she loves.įive centuries later, a pair of red shoes seal to Rosella Oliva’s feet, making her dance uncontrollably. A strange sickness sweeps through Strasbourg: women dance in the streets, some until they fall down dead. Dark and Deepest Red is a queer retelling of The Red Shoes. Characters that will leave lasting memories. ![]() Talk about spectacularly creative fantasy settings. Anna-Marie McLemore has to be one of my favorite authors period. ![]()
