Chandni’s Reviews > The Rose and The Beast: Fairy Tales Retold > Status Update

Ice : A Snow Queen retelling that's really surreal and really obsessive.

Beast : A Beauty and the Beast retelling where they kind of meet in the middle and happily ever after is just a normal relationship.

Bones : A Bluebeard retelling where Bluebeard is a serial killer of young girls in L.A. I mean...

Rose White and Rose Red: This is a Snow White and Rose Red retelling. It's basically about letting a sister go when she finds love. Was probably one of the weaker stories in the bunch.

Wolf: A Little Red Riding Hood retelling where the wolf is a sexually abusive stepfather. Really rough, but I liked how edgy the main character was.

Charm: I think this was a Sleeping Beauty retelling and it was extremely dark. It's about a heroin addicted young woman who is sexually abused. Francesca Lia Block's books come with all the trigger warnings.

Glass: A Cinderella retelling where Cinderella chooses to make herself small and has to be forced to to put on the glass shoes and make herself known.

Snow - A retelling of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Really sad, yet hopeful story about a woman who gives Snow away and the seven deformed men who raise her. She finds out what love really means.
