McKinley has another go at "Beauty and the Beast", after her novel "Beauty". This one darker and more complex, with lots of flowery prose and vivid imagery. So much so that the plot suffers from it - it's rather hard to tell towards the end what's happening. 3 sorcerers, and unicorns, and magical cats, good heavens. The end is the same: Beauty marries the Beast, although in this version one's imagination flinches away from how it's going to work.
