![]() ![]() Ultimately it has it's moments where it shines, but it's also woven so heavily with the author's trans-propaganda it doesn't feel fun at times, but like a lecture from someone with purple or blue hair. ![]() This was really clunky, and unneeded, and not only didn't serve the story, but held it back constantly retreading the same ground, and repeating the same lines verbatim again and again. It's not subtle, and it's not realistic, especially given the time period it takes place in and how it plays out. This story is the most overbearing, heavy handed, in-your-face Trans-Identity agenda piece I've ever seen. But then there's another side to this story, a side the publisher's description and marketing blurbs deliberately leave out. ![]() There are some really good concepts and moments here, some fun twists, and a solid fleshing out of characters and relationships only teased at in the original story. I love the history and folklore of the area, and the fictional world Washington Irving created, and I was very interested to see how someone else would play in that sandbox. I read the original story every year, I watch the adaptations, and my wife and I try to make it to Sleepy Hollow / Tarrytown, NY every autumn. For context, just know that I am a Sleepy Hollow junkie. I have alot I'd like to say about this book, but I'll do my best to keep it short. ![]()
