current reading.

Rose Daughter

by Robin McKinley

having purchased Sunshine, and seeing a certain subtext in it, i went back and bought the second of McKinley's re-telling's of Beauty and the Beast. i haven't read the first, so i may be missing something, but this one is still a good story. though an earlier effort, it's hard not to be a fan of McKinley's flawed-yet-tolerating-no-bullshit heroines (i'm also a fan of The Blue Sword and The Hero and the Crown, although less so of her Maid Marian in the Robin Hood re-telling she did).

also, happy memorial day.
