I've begun with Rose Daughter because I wanted to go in reverse order this time, and Beauty is not only first in sequence, but McKinley's first written novel.
A couple of links I've been checking out to add to the experience:
McKinley's site where she talks about
Rose Daughter as well as Beauty and how events in her life shaped the books.
A review looking at both books and the differences between them at
tor.comHere's the first volume I'm seeing which is told from the Beast's POV, I'm sure there are more, I'm just taking this slowly -
Beast by Donna Jo Napoli - going into my Amazon cart...
