Query: Good retelling of Beauty and the beast

Actully this is one of my favorite books, its not the best book by Mckinley, her book the Blue Sword is her best that I have read so far. This book is better then the Rose Daughter, which is good but uses the same themes as this one. If you like retellings of Fairy Tales this is a good one to start off with, its not as confusing as Yolen's retelling. If you like fantasy this is also a good book too. Beauty's ending is a good one, only a little bit confusing. I am an avid Mckinley reader, I am in the middle of reading the Outlaws of Sherwood by her another book I would recommend.
