The topic "Wshls nagic clip" is not clear and does not seem to have any meaning. It is possible that it contains a typographical error or is a misspelling. Without further context or information, it is difficult to provide a meaningful note on this topic..
SPINDLE, which just came out yesterday, is one of the latter — an old story made startlingly new. You can tell from the title that it’s Sleeping Beauty (or Briar Rose; this fairy tale is so ubiquitous that it has more than one name). I admit I was not particularly optimistic going in, not least because this tale already has some excellent re-tellings: Spindle’s End, by Robin McKinley is probably the gold standard, but I’m also fond of Linda Medley’s The Curse of Brambly Hedge. Johnston was entering a crowded playing-field, and I didn’t see how she was going to distinguish herself.
Fairy tale re-tellings are hit-or-miss for me; I m seldom so in love with a fairy tale that I have much patience with hearing it again, and it s rare that the re-telling provides surprises me with a take on the original that I hadn t already considered. For four years, Princess Aurora of Rhone Rose to her friends has searched the world for a way to break the curse placed on her by Magdalina, the wicked ruler of the fairies at war with her kingdom.

Review: SPINDLE, by E. K. Johnston
Fairy tale re-tellings are hit-or-miss for me; I’m seldom so in love with a fairy tale that I have much patience with hearing it again, and it’s rare that the re-telling provides surprises me with a take on the original that I hadn’t already considered.
SPINDLE, which just came out yesterday, is one of the latter — an old story made startlingly new. You can tell from the title that it’s Sleeping Beauty (or Briar Rose; this fairy tale is so ubiquitous that it has more than one name). I admit I was not particularly optimistic going in, not least because this tale already has some excellent re-tellings: Spindle’s End, by Robin McKinley is probably the gold standard, but I’m also fond of Linda Medley’s The Curse of Brambly Hedge. Johnston was entering a crowded playing-field, and I didn’t see how she was going to distinguish herself.
But she did, and she has, and it’s mythic and moving. Johnston has taken on the problem of female victimhood — a princess cursed to prick her finger and sleep until she is rescued, who has no say in her fate — and turned it on its ear. A victim, after all, is not just a casualty. She can also be a devotion, an offering, the one who chooses and saves the world.

Reviews for "Wshls nagic clip: The Best-Kept Secret in Hair Styling"
1. Sarah - 1 star - I was really disappointed with the "Wshls nagic clip". The quality was very poor and the clip broke after just a few uses. The colors also faded quickly and the overall design was cheap-looking. I wouldn't recommend this product at all.
2. David - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the "Wshls nagic clip" but was let down. The clip didn't hold my hair securely, it kept slipping out. The material also felt flimsy and didn't feel like it would hold up for long. It was a waste of money for me.
3. Jennifer - 2 stars - The "Wshls nagic clip" didn't work for my thick hair at all. It was too small and couldn't hold all of my hair in place. I tried adjusting it multiple times, but it still didn't work. It might work better for people with thinner or shorter hair, but for me, it was a disappointment.
4. Mike - 1 star - I regret buying the "Wshls nagic clip". It didn't securely hold my hair and kept sliding off. The design was also awkward, making it difficult to use. I ended up giving it away to a friend who had better luck with it, but I definitely wouldn't repurchase or recommend it.
