Exerpt from the Book:

big sister says

don't you dare
undervalue yourself.

don't you dare
become smaller to
make room for others.

don't you dare
shrink back
into the shadows.

don't you dare
wither while
everyone else blooms.

here's an indisputable fact:
you matter.
 

 

My Thoughts:

I listened to poetry collections by Amanda Lovelace before. The first was Flower Crowns & Fearsome Things, which I think was very good. Shine Your Icy Crown is part of the collection You Are Your Own Fairytale. I listened to all three audiobooks. You can listen to these audiobooks in any order you choose. Or even listen to just one and you will be able to enjoy it without the feeling you are missing something. Make sure you listen to trigger warnings at the beginning of this audiobook. 

Shine Your Icy Crown is a collection of short poems inspired by several icy and witchy fairytales. I liked the music at the beginning and the end. I liked the poetry and the general idea. But again, as with the first collection, it sounded too much like a self-help book than poetry. Some things also felt a bit repetitive from the first book. 

Amanda Lovelace is also the narrator of her poetry book and I liked that. She did an excellent job, as always.
