A lovely story, retelling of East of the Sun and West of the Moon. I read the original story when I was very very small but it stayed in my mind for a long time. I could never forget the image of a girl fighting so hard to get her lover back, crying in the middle of the night, hoping the Prince rega...
I liked this book better than [b:Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow|1210754|Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow|Jessica Day George|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1317065700s/1210754.jpg|1199129] in a few aspects. I liked the portrayal of the trolls and how you get into the mind of the Troll Queen and see some of her m...
I hope I'll carve out some time to review, but I have to say this is how a fairytale retelling should be in my opnion. Thank you so much, Teccc, for parting with your copy. It would have taken ages - or maybe forever - until I decided to finally buy it.

I really am.On one hand, "East of the Sun, West of the Moon" is one of my favorite fairy tales and this isn't a bad retelling of it.On the other hand, there are several parts to this novel that don't quite gel.Let's nickpick.But first, in case you don't know, "East o...
This book the a spin off the class tale: East of the Sun, West of the Moon. The author threaded the fairy tale together with reality very nicely, however, the story lacked a certain gusto and charm that Day's Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow held. The book moved much better than Day's version, with the ...
It's been quite a while since I read this, so I will leave a proper review until my eventual re-reading but I will say that as it is based on my favourite fairytale, I can remember being particularly harsh on this retelling. I recall it being good but not quite living up to my memories of the origi...
