Spindle's End
by Robin McKinley
No matter how many times I re-read this book, it will always enchant me. Easily the best take EVER on the Sleeping Beauty tale, McKinley manages to make me A) like and B) care about a princess that I had previously never given a second thought to. The climactic battle is properly thrilling and terrifying, the characters are well-rounded and charming, and the supporting cast of animals are fun and richly imagined. This is a simply beautiful book, full of whimsy and real magic, and manages to make a very old tale feel as brand new as the first time you ever heard it.
