Explanation In Favor Of Books East (East #1)

Rose has always been different.

Since the day she was born, it was clear she had a special fate. Her superstitious mother keeps the unusual circumstances of Rose's birth a secret, hoping to prevent her adventurous daughter from leaving home... but she can't suppress Rose's true nature forever.

So when an enormous white bear shows up one cold autumn evening and asks teenage Rose to come away with it--in exchange for health and prosperity for her ailing family--she readily agrees.

Rose travels on the bear's broad back to a distant and empty castle, where she is nightly joined by a mysterious stranger. In discovering his identity, she loses her heart-- and finds her purpose--and realizes her journey has only just begun.

Rate Of Books East (East #1)

This novel is a retelling of "East of the Sun and West of the Moon" which is probably one of the most underappreciated fairy tales out there. Unfortunately, this retelling doesn't quite do it justice. The author chose to use multiple viewpoints, which felt more like a gimmick and less like the best way to tell the story (especially since I was only really interested in the stories from two of the five narrators). Also, no one ever seems to have given Edith that all important advice to "show and

Great retelling. The retelling sticks very close, closer than any retelling I have read before so I was (sorry to say) a bit bored, at the same time there were elements that the fairy tale does not have and some aspects that kept me guessing.I found it a bit confusing how they used real names of cities here in Norway yet the country they lived in was called Norjd.. Why not keep the name Norway, or alternatively use new names for the cities.Also it seemed like this was suppose to take place in a

Rating: 4.5 StarsEver since I read the tale of "East of the Sun, West of the Moon," I've longed to give one of its numerous re-tellings a try. Edith Pattou's version, East, practically fell into my lap when I discovered it in the hidden recess of my Kindle and within moments, I was sucked into the tale. For those of you who don't know, "East of the Sun, West of the Moon" is similar to "Beauty and the Beast," only instead of a beast, we have a polar bear, and instead of a wicked witch, there is

As fairy tale retellings go, this one is lovely, though I didn't guess which fairy tale it told until close to the end.

As fairy tale retellings go, this one is lovely, though I didn't guess which fairy tale it told until close to the end.

East was written when fantasy could still be fantasy. When young adult books weren't required to have a love triangle, a sexy love interest, and a heroine with low self-esteem. Rose, this novel's main character, is intelligent, resourceful, and courageous. She has a strong drive and a true moral compass. The plot reminds me of more classical fantasy that involves epic journeys over several countries over the course of years. The book is chaste and simple, which makes me think its more suited to

3.5*a lovely retelling of Beauty and the Beast.
