Beasts and Beauty: Dangerous Tales
by Soman Chainani
Red Riding Hood - 5 stars. WHAT A PHENOMENAL RETELLING! Loved it!
Snow White - 5 stars. I have never been a fan of the Snow White fairytale, but this was such a smart retelling that I enjoyed immensely!
Sleeping Beauty - 4 stars. It took me a while to get into this one, but it was still great and a very interesting take on the original fairytale.
Rapunzel - 5 stars. Loved! So empowering!
Jack and the Beanstalk - 3 stars. Meh.
Hansel and Gretel - 3 stars. Another Meh.
Beauty and the Beast - 5 stars. WOW. WOW. WOW. To be completely transparent, Beauty and the Beast has always been my favorite fairy tale, so when a retelling is published, I have extremely high expectations. This retelling surpassed those expectations. The twist literally destroyed my heart and had me crying my eyes out. Best of the batch so far.
Bluebeard - 4 stars. This was an unexpected surprise. I have never read the original fairytale, so I had no idea what to expect, but I very much enjoyed this one.
Cinderella - 5 stars. To be honest, I was not looking forward to reading this seeing as I'm not the biggest fan of the Cinderella story and it has been retold to death. However, this retelling was phenomenal and the twist was so smart and I loved it!
The Little Mermaid - 5 stars. This was a very interesting twist on the story as well that I enjoyed. I really liked that it had an open ending.
Rumpelstiltskin - 5 stars. This short story collection just keeps getting better and better. This was a very solid story.
Peter Pan - 5 stars. THIS.WAS.THE.BEST.ONE.OF.THE.BUNCH. What a fabulous story to end an extremely strong collection.
