Not only do I write fairy tale retellings, I love to read them!  And I have reviewed quite a few of them over the years.  So here is a list of all the fairy tale retellings I have reviewed, along with what I rated them and what fairy tale(s) they are retelling.

  1. I only book I read on your list is McKinley's Beauty which I did enjoy. Have you read McKinley's other Beauty and the Beast retelling, Rose Daughter? That one have a different ending.

    Have a lovely day.

  2. I've read several of the books in your list, including Jenni Sauer's books and Enchanted. I have Sarah Beren, Mary Mecham, and Kendra Ardenak's books on my tbr. I discovered Melanie Cellier's fairytale retelling last year and have blazed through them, so fun and good reading.
