For mr, they have to look at the stories or characters in a different way from the originals.<br /><br /><br />I really like the cover art of the edition that you posted.Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-50987780089347595822016-03-03T04:43:34.464+00:002016-03-03T04:43:34.464+00:00Ooh.

Sorry to hear that something felt off to you. It's annoying when something doesn't feel right, but you can't quite put your finger on it!<br /><br />Hope you have a lovely week!Alexia561https://www.blogger.com/profile/10797515620050469395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-62638753127537629002016-03-03T01:16:07.201+00:002016-03-03T01:16:07.201+00:00I know re-tellings can be hit or miss but this one...I know re-tellings can be hit or miss but this one sounds worth the read.The Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10217390642323530030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-88189572981817181442016-03-02T22:37:50.702+00:002016-03-02T22:37:50.702+00:00Hi Tracy,

However personally,this simply isn't a genre of writing I either enjoy, or basically even understand most of the time.<br /><br />As ever, your reviews are constructive and informative, giving me a solid base on which to reflect my own decision as to whether or not this is one I need to read.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing and enjoy the rest of your week :)<br /><br />Yvonne <br /><br />Yvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-42330307535139005602016-03-02T21:58:49.828+00:002016-03-02T21:58:49.828+00:00As long as it stays true to the myth it re-tells, ...As long as it stays true to the myth it re-tells, I think this sounds like a great idea for a series. <br /><br />Perhaps the next installment will clarify your doubts, one way or another.
