mephistia 's review for:

Spindle's End by Robin McKinley
3.0

Robin McKinley has long been one of my favorite authors-- I've read, "Beauty," I don't know how many times-- and, "Spindle's End," confirmed her place in my heart. She's a truly talented reteller of tales, who expands and reinvents the familiar old stories in unexpected and captivating ways. Sleeping Beauty has never been my favorite fairy tale, but in McKinley's hands, it became magical-- which is the highest praise I can give it. I would be interested to know if she ever worked her magic on Cinderella ...
