Spindle's End by Robin McKinley is a delightful retelling of Sleeping Beauty. McKinley weaves her own tale building a detailed universe giving life to these familiar characters. Rosie, the cursed princess, doesn't sit back as the damsel in distress, rather she depends on her own skills, friendships, and chosen family to overcome all odds and make her own happy ending. I really enjoyed this version.
