redrobes 's review for:
Rose Daughter
by Robin McKinley
If you love the fairytale of Beauty and the Beast, but want a retelling where roses and the ideas of change and discovery take center stage, you'll probably love this book. Its magic is robust and well-defined, but keeps a wonderful fairy tale vagueness that allows your imagination to run wild.
Beauty and her sisters have a wonderful, deep love for each other but still, like any siblings, have their differences, disagreements, and teasing moments. Their relationship to each other is as important to Beauty as her relationship to the Beast, which is absolutely wonderful to see. The Beast is himself is a wonderful compliment to Beauty.
If I have to mention something I wish was different about this book, is that I wish it was longer and we saw more of Beauty and the Beast. But as it is, it's a wonderful and short tale filled with kindness and love.
