I should pick that one up some time; I already read The Hero and the Crown.<BR/><BR/>Ana - I haven't read Sunshine, either, although I've always heard good things about it. I should add it to the wish list. Spindle's End was good, too; I liked the twist on being awakened by a kiss.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01700004253248186101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146259764837045872.post-25532158793834983292008-06-14T06:35:00.000-04:002008-06-14T06:35:00.000-04:00Oh, I loved this book as well.

I need to do another reread...<BR/><BR/>Have you read McKinley's other retold fairy tales, Rose Daughter and Spindle's End? I enjoyed those as well.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01700004253248186101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146259764837045872.post-45607988593883497642008-06-13T22:20:00.000-04:002008-06-13T22:20:00.000-04:00This is a long time favourite of miine as well.

It's such a lovely little book - I love the library with all the books in it that haven't been written yet and the way the Beast has aged through the years and isn't a handsome young prince any more once the spell is broken. I hope your review encourages people to read it.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01829070558793881064noreply@blogger.com
