Spindle's End by Robin McKinley
4.0

I didn’t hate this book, but I didn’t love it either. I’ll admit that a retelling of my favorite fairy tale was already at a disadvantage. This was a story I’ve memorized from the time that I was a little girl, and the fact remains that I don’t think something should be fixed when it isn’t broken. It was interesting to read another take on the story, but the amount of detail made the novel drag on and on until I had to pick up another book and read it for a break.
