Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast by Robin McKinleyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Since forever Beauty and the Beast was my favorite Fairy Tale from Disney that's why I'm always looking for retell stories or any other indication that it has a hint of beauty and the beast.
I liked this Retelling, because it kinda like the original but sheds a new view in to things or showing us another way that the story can be as it is but in a different storyline.
- I liked the Beast so much, he was so gentlemanly and kind.
- I liked Beauty and her family, especially the father, beauty as a character was a typical bluestocking who has an inferior complex because of her two beautiful sisters, but after her entering the beasts castle there were some changes, well she started off as being a bit girly XD and sometimes she was enjoying herself and the next she was having a panic attack.
- I liked the wind nursemaids XD especially when they fought with her over dresses.
- I would have prefered that we could have he story through both Beauty and the Beast point of view since I wanted to know how he reacted to her or his thoughts of her actions and such. (view spoiler)
- I would have loved an epilogou especially after the ending we got, like knowing how her family will react to the real man under the beast's skin...or fur.
Overall, *thumps up*
