Title: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MCKINLEY I USED TO READ?
Review: I read this book when it was first released because I am a fan of McKinley - especially her re-telling of Beauty and the Beast as well as her Blue Sword books. As an adult, I was saddened to see her ability to bring fairy tales to life has been tainted by only God knows what going on in her life. I enjoy fantasy novels for their uplift and joy. This novel was dark and painful. It left a bad taste in my brain. By the time I was finished, I couldn't even feel happy for the ending; I was too emotionally drawn. I threw my copy away. If I want to be horrified and depressed, I'll buy horror novels or classical literature filled with angst. Or I'll watch the evening news...
