Briar Rose by Jane Yolen

2.0

I love fairy tales. I love it when an author twists and turns it in lots of wonderful ways. I love Jane Yolen. Her young peoples books are some of my favorites. Although this telling of Briar Rose is thoughtful and unique, it was not at all what I hoped for. As noted, I filed this book under "yet another war book." Yep. World War II. Not my favorite books at all, but I will read them when my book club makes me. This wasn't even a bookclub pick. So, for those of you who like war books and fairy tales, read this book. For those of you who just want a fairy tale, don't.
