"It is the heart of this place, and it is dying," says the Beast. And it is true; the center of the Beast's palace, the glittering glasshouse that brings Beauty both comfort and delight in her strange new environment, is filled with leafless brown rosebushes. But deep within this enchanted world, new life, at once subtle and strong, is about to awaken. Twenty years ago Robin McKinley enthralled listeners with the power of Beauty. Now this extraordinarily gifted novelist retells the story of Beauty and the Beast again - but in a totally new way, with fresh perspective, ingenuity, and mature insight. In Rose Daughter she has written her finest and most deeply felt work, a compelling, richly imagined, and haunting exploration of the transformative power of love.

Some of it was classic, delightful, Robin McKinley but it seemed to drag in other areas without adding to my understanding of either the characters or the story especially the magic. There was a very convoluted explanation that didn’t satisfy me. Worth reading still but it would’ve been better as a shorter novel.

A lovely idea

Maybe it's just the style it's been written in but 2h in and absolutely nothing has happened so far. I just couldn't continue.

DNF snoozefest
