I LOVE fairytales and fairytale retellings. I have found there a lot of great YA fairytale retellings. Though this list only contains 10 of those, I highly recommend checking out Epic Reads's list of 162 YA fairytale retellings (which I've included at the bottom of my post). Currently, these are my top ten favorite YA fairytale retellings:
- A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas; I love Sarah's writing, and this is a fabulous telling of Beauty and the Beast, with a touch of a few other fairytales. *review coming soon to MMs*
- The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh; I loved this retelling of One Thousand and One Nights.
- The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer; If you love fairytale retellings, this is the series you'll want to read! My favorite from the series is Scarlet.
- Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen; I LOVE the story of Robin Hood, and this retelling is one of my all time favorite fairy tale retellings.
- Cruel Beauty of Rosamund Hodge; This is another fabulous Beauty & The Best retelling that I loved!
- The Artisans by Julie Reece; An electrifying retelling of Beauty and the Beast. I loved this read!
- Entwined by Heather Dixon; I loved Heather Dixon's retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses.
- Goddess by Josephine Angelini; If you love Greek mythology, pick up this series!
- Valkyrie Rising by Ingrid Paulson; Two words, Norse Mythology!
- Princess of Thorns by Stacey Jay; Fans of twisted fairytales will enjoy this spin on the story of Sleeping Beauty.
Other Great Fairytale Retellings:
- Everneath by Brodi Ashton; Greek Mythology
- Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce; A great Little Red Riding Hood retelling for YA readers.
- Splintered by A.G. Howard; A fabulously twisted retelling of Alice and Wonderland.
