I don't know whether to rate this based on my enjoyment of the reading experience or based on my level of fascination with the actual swapped text. Because the conscious decision of the creators to really only swap gender markers but keep the rest obviously reproduced aspects of the fairytales that greatly displease me (think ableism and heteronormativity). They are aware of this, but that doesn't change the text, does it *shrug* I loved how the gender swap revealed how predatory the originals are, how much the princesses are CHILDREN by measures of today and how their child-like physicality is over-emphasised, how devastatingly creepy fairytales are... I appreciate that being demonstrated, but clearly constantly realising this throughout the read did not make for a good time :D I think this was an interesting experiment, but I just wouldn't read most of these stories to children, full stop.
