Rose Daughter
by Robin McKinley
McKinley revisits the Beauty and the Beast tale twenty years after her first, beautiful version. It's a very different and very lovely tale, in some ways more mature, but it felt rushed to me. I believe she wrote in the introduction that she had written this version very quickly, and it shows. I felt there were a lot of loose ends, tantalizing threads that she started to weave in and then just dropped. All the same, I enjoyed reading it very much. The first version, Beauty, is still the best.
