Ok, so I don’t want to let this thread die on that note. Here are some others.
Curse Dark As Gold (by Elizabeth Bunce) – I liked this book. It’s a retelling of the Rumpelstiltskin tale from the POV of the miller’s daughter. It’s the author’s own spin on the characters of the story, though. The miller dies and leaves the running of the mill to his two daughters. They have a hard time of it and it’s rumored that the mill is cursed. The eldest daughter is set on keeping the family mill running, however. The Rumpelstiltskin character in this story bears some striking similarities to human Rumple from OUAT. I don’t want to give anything away, but it’s easy to pretend it’s the same person
Once Upon A Time series by Cameron Dokey, Suzanne Weyn, and others. – I read a few in this series and liked it. “The Crimson Thread”, the Rumplestiltskin tale in this series was really enjoyable. These books are small and in the kid/teen section so don’t expect extreme epicness, but they are well written. (oh and I can’t vouch for every book, but Crimson Thread at least bore almost no resemblance to the original story, it was like AU or something, which was refreshing)
Beauty – by Robin Mckinley – A retelling of Beauty and the Beast. It was nice, but I’d already read the “Once Upon A Time” version (above) of the story and they were so similar I felt like I was reading it again. Regardless – it is good, but the “Beast” character is really underdeveloped and has that “faceless prince” vibe going on that fairy tales are want to do.
Mercedes Lackey – She has a series called “The 500 Kingdoms” which pull a lot from fairy tales. I haven’t read any of them but she’s a wonderful author (I’ve only read her Valdemar books…). A coworker told me her “Elemental Masters” series was better and was also fairy tale focused. She also has a duet called “Fairy Tale”, so there is that…
Dennis L McKiernan – He’s got several fairy tale themed books. I haven’t read any of them, but he’s popular.
Great book website: http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk This website looks like it was made in the 90s, but it’s the most well kept up to date fiction indexing website I’ve come across. I use it all the time to find out about new books or (mostly) what order books come in. It also lists other books recommended by the author. Only for fiction, obviously. It’s also won’t turn up anything if you spell the author or title wrong.
