I am a sucker for anything dark, gothic and atmospheric! I also really enjoy Jackson Pearce and her retellings :) I guess my favorite thing about reading retellings would be discovering how my favorite fairy tales can be twisted and re-invented. The potential is enormous! <br /><br />I'm really happy to hear that you loved Princess in Opal Mask, Becky! Your review makes me very excited for this title.. that cover.. it's just.. gorgeous! :) The cover alone would be enough to have me drooling, but your review makes me even more excited for this title for sure!

They're written in a specific, enchanting way that I just adore. They can be romantic, heartbreaking, enlightening and thought-provoking, admist all the sparkle! I love all of the lost princesses, hidden kingdoms, evil magic. All of it. It's great to rediscover old favorites and be introduced to new ones as well. That's why I like fairy tale retellings so much too :) Familiar stories wrapped in new ones.Morgan @ The Bookish Beaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05455877395068242798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2219891340843794955.post-7897217946489953862013-12-03T10:51:49.112-08:002013-12-03T10:51:49.112-08:00To be reintroduced to fairy tales I have forgotten...To be reintroduced to fairy tales I have forgotten.

For some it is the bitter-sweetness of them and for others it is just the beautiful tale that you can find yourself lost in <3 Really it is who it is written and the story that decides what way I feel :) Tiffany Holmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05293967406499687297noreply@blogger.com
