Fantasy Novels by Alix E. Harrow
Alix E. Harrow writes fantasy novels that are often set in our world, but that have links to other worlds. They’re whimsical and emotional all at once, with characters that feel real.
Her debut novel, The Ten Thousand Doors of January, was nominated for numerous awards, including the Hugo Award for Best Novel, the Nebula Award for Best Novel, and Goodreads Choice Awards in multiple categories.
Here are all of her full-length novels (and longer novellas) in order:

A Spindle Splintered (Fractured Fables #1)
Genre: Fantasy/Fairy Tale Retellings
Order on Amazon | Order on Bookshop.org
This novella is sort of a modern, split-world retelling of Sleeping Beauty. It’s about Zinnia Gray, a young woman with a fatal disease who likely doesn’t have much longer to live.
On her 21st birthday, she pricks her finger on a spinning wheel, and finds herself somewhere very unexpected. Along the way, she meets someone who’s not so different from herself.
In this story, Harrow takes the passive Disney version of Sleeping Beauty and breathes new life into it, making it much more interesting – and giving the villain a more complex story of her own.
Publication date: October 5th, 2021
A Mirror Mended (Fractured Fables #2)
Genre: Fantasy/Fairy Tale Retellings
Order on Amazon | Order on Bookshop.org
In this follow-up novella to A Spindle Splintered, we return to Zinnia Gray’s journey. After rescuing what feels like endless damsels in distress, Zinnia is ready for a change. But then, Snow White’s Evil Queen contacts her with a request.
The queen has found out how things will end for her (quite badly), and she needs Zinnia’s help to change her terrible fate.
Publication date: June 14th, 2022

Until one day, a woman receives a job offer at the house that she can’t refuse, setting a strange force in motion. She and the house’s lonely heir will have to work together to save the house from being overtaken by darkness.
