Best Retellings I've Read So Far

Hello everyone!

Retellings are one of my favorite plots to read about, so I thought I'd suggest a few today.

Roseblood by A.G. Howard

Roseblood is a Phantom of the Opera retelling, and in my opinion it was really well done. It added some really interesting twists to the original story which I really enjoyed. 

The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter

This trilogy is a Hades and Persephone retelling and was so well done. I loved how it incorporated all the Greek gods in this series and you got to see their personalities. I just really enjoyed this trilogy and if you enjoy Greek mythology, I think you'd enjoy this trilogy. The third book also made me cry so much.

Avalon High by Meg Cabot

Avalon High is a King Arthur retelling in modern day. The characters are high school students, but they have a connection to the original story. This retelling was such a fun one to read.

Austenland by Shannon Hale

As the title suggests, this novel revolves around Jane Austen's novels. It incorporates a lot of her plots, but more specifically Pride and Prejudice. It had so many funny scenes, and was overall a really enjoyable read. If you enjoy Jane Austen's novels, I suggest you check this book out.

The Princess Curse by Merrie Haskell

The Princess Curse is a Twelve Dancing Princesses as well as a Beauty and the Beast retelling. The prince offers a reward to anyone who can reverse the curse on the princesses that causes them to dance each night. Everyone who has tried has fallen under a sleeping curse. Reveka rises to the occasion and it was such an amazing read. I highly suggest checking this one out.

The Selection by Kiera Cass

While this series may not be a conventional retelling, it pretty much is a retelling of The Bachelor. It has just as much drama and I love it. This series was so addicting.

I'm always on the lookout for a good retelling, so if you have any I'd love to hear what they are.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
