"Then you'll be afraid."
Can't. Wait.
The first review of the year! Writing this one always feels fresh and hopeful to me and like it may set the tone of my reading year in a way. This was a very good one to start with. And the moral of this story appears to be: I will never tire of Beauty and the Beast retellings. A fact I was not unaware of, but that I am happy to have confirmed once more, this time after reading Brigid Kemmerer's A Curse So Dark and Lonely. My favorites tend to run the Robin McKinley way, with the most recent favorite retelling being Meagan Spooner's wonderful Hunted. But this is the first retelling of my favorite fairy tale that I've read that includes both traditional fantasy and modern contemporary settings. I didn't think it could work. Or, at least, I was skeptical that the one would interfere with the other or that the different dialogues might clash. How happy I was to find that the whole thing played out seamlessly. How happy I am to have discovered Brigid Kemmerer's writin…
How exciting!!! This is going to be good.

ReplyDeleteI can't help it, I think so, too!
DeleteWow! That looks good. I just hope it's better than some of the other fairy tale adaptations that debuted in recent years.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that, my friend.
DeleteThis. Looks. AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteIt really does. I can't wait to find out where they go with it.
DeleteAh, Maleficent was always my favorite Disney cartoon villian. I am definitley seeing this movie. :)
ReplyDeleteMine, too. How can we not see this one?
DeleteI read somewhere that Jolie's kids are going to be in this movie too. I think that little blonde girl in the meadow is one of them.
ReplyDeleteSeriously? That is bizarre.
