Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast by Robin McKinley
3.0
This is a beautifully written book with the same fundamental problem as every story about Beauty and the Beast. McKinley did everything she could to make this as consensual as possible, but, in the end, it still reads as an older man manipulating a young woman to his advantage.
If you really like the story of "Beauty and the Beast," then you'll like this book as well. If you're not overly fond of the story or have hesitations about the whole consent / lack of consent thing, you won't like this book.
