I liked the strong female character. ( )

I love retellings of "East of the Sun, West of the Moon" - just not this one, unfortunately. By the end, if I saw one more variation of "Oh Bear" or heard one more description of just how perfect Camille was, I was going to lose it. Pass on this one. ( )

Horrible. Utterly, completely, and almost unfathomably horrible. Takes the award for the worst fairy tale retelling ever! ( )

I picked this book up because of the cover illustration. East of the Sun and West of the Moon is one of my favorite folktales of all time. This book definitely did not disappoint! Because of that, I've devoured the whole series! ( )

Charming, lovely fairy-tale. A retelling of East of the Sun, West of the Moon, with flavour of [b:Beauty and the Beast, but even more of Cupid and Psyche. Not deep or memorable, but very nice indeed, lots of pretty little touches.The one jarring note was his attempt at using an archaic style. He tried a bit too hard, I think, without having a real feel for how the language should flow. Dropping 'did' into sentences at random doesn't really cover it. ( )
