You're only the second person I me...Flail away! You're only the second person I met so far who loved Princess of Thorns :D <br />To say this book is underrated would be an underestimate. Honestly, this book is practically invisible. And it's insane because it is SO GOOD. <br />I appreciate you right back for knowing it! And for being the hilarious and sweet person that you are (: <br />What! So you had the *exact* same expirience with The Lunar Chronicles as me! <br />Me: *reading cinder*. It's okay, but... I don't know... *casting it aside for a year and a half*. <br />My friend: Oh no, you HAVE to read it. it's AMAZING. <br />Me: but... <br />my friend: No! Read it! <br />Me: okay, okay... calm down. <br />*reading scarlet, then reading cress, then reading winter*<br />Oh my god, this is perfection! Why didn't anyone tell me this earlier? I love it so much :') <br />Since reading TLC I love fairy tale retellings even more. *happy sigh*.<br />I'm so glad you stopped to say hello, cait! I was so happy to see your comment - thank you :D Zoey Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999029471105415165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181191856672709259.post-18388010095952433122016-07-01T14:39:58.129+03:002016-07-01T14:39:58.129+03:00*shrieks* OMG I LOVE THIS LIST!

I adore it <i>so much</i> and there's like no one to flail about it with! SO LET ME FLAIL WITH YOU! AHHHH. hehe.<br />And I was the same with Cinder actually! I read the first chapter and was like "meh" and sent it back to the library. #fail My sister <i>forced</i> me to read the rest and then I was SO hooked and the Lunar Chronicles are like some of my favourite books of all time now. :')<br />Fairy tale retellings are THE BEST. :D<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by <a href="http://www.paperfury.com" rel="nofollow">@ Paper Fury!</a> CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181191856672709259.post-83181403021490039192016-06-29T16:00:31.464+03:002016-06-29T16:00:31.464+03:00Hey, Stacee! Thanks for stopping by to comment (: ...Hey, Stacee! Thanks for stopping by to comment (: <br />Oh yes, me too - I really enjoyed TWATD and Princess of Thorns. It's a shame it's not more known... I would have loved a sequel.<br />If you enjoyed the first book in the dorothy must series, I'm sure you'll enjoy the rest of the books too. <br />Thank you! I'm *so* glad you liked it :D Zoey Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999029471105415165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181191856672709259.post-28398103944306492022016-06-29T15:53:23.172+03:002016-06-29T15:53:23.172+03:00All of these choices are perfection.

Renee's books are some of my favorites and I wish Princess of Thorns had gotten a bit more love so we could have a sequel. <br /><br />Great list, thanks for sharing it!Stacee @ Adventures of a Book Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12788862608828433286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181191856672709259.post-58367729272955091352016-06-29T11:00:44.939+03:002016-06-29T11:00:44.939+03:00The Lunar Chronicles is the kind of series that ta...The Lunar Chronicles is the kind of series that takes a while to get into but once you do... there really is no going back :) <br />I'm very much looking forward to Marrisa's next series about super heroes and super villains. It sounds so cool! <br /><br />You are the first person I talked to who read Princess of Thorns (which is saying a lot about how underrated this book really is). <br /><br />There are really only two options: either you hate Dorothy Must Die or you love it. I hope you'll love it - this series is so much fun. <br /><br />TWATD second book was also a let down for me... and a sad one because I did love the first book a lot. <br />But if you didn't like it... you probably won't like TRATD. <br /><br />I never heard of Uprooted - I'll check it out. <br /><br />Thank you!

Overall, it's such a terrific series.<br /><br />I adore Princess of Thorns too! I agree it's very underrated, but it's such a good story and deserves more love! Her Of Beast and Beauty is another one I like.<br /><br />I haven't read Dorothy yet, but I have to change that soon. Also, I wasn't a fan of TWATD and my co-blogger disliked the second book, so I might not be picking it up.<br /><br />As for my favorite retellings, I'd have to go with TLC and also Uprooted by Naomi Novik.<br /><br />Fun post! :)Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304521473521896294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181191856672709259.post-14539656012958981752016-06-28T07:53:45.528+03:002016-06-28T07:53:45.528+03:00Ohhh, thank you! That was what I was aiming for. I...Ohhh, thank you! That was what I was aiming for. I was afraid it wasn't good enough, but hearing that it made you think like you were reading a fairy tale... :'D<br /><br />So you haven't read many retellings as well?<br />The Lunar Chronicles and Dorothy Must Die are a great place to start. <br /><br />I hope you'll love The Lunar Chronicles and Dorothy Must Die as much as I did. They are both fantastic. Tell me when you'll ever get to them (:<br /><br />Thanks again, Esther!

All the stories were gothic and feminist retellings of different fairy tales.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654098715125463797noreply@blogger.com
