MANTI. HOLDS YOUR HANDS. i just found out the perilous guard by elizabeth marie pope (book i read when i was 14 and LOVED) is a tam lin retelling (did not know this) . now to be fair i have not read this book in Years but!!! the sherwood ring by the same author is one of my top 3 books of all time (very cozy and comforting to me) so i feel comfortable reccing it to you :3

EVERYONE WAKE UP new tam lin retelling just dropped and it comes backed by my beloved Julia! adding both books to my TBR immediately thank u immensely.

It's funny how many retellings of it there are but when you think about it the Beauty and the Beast plot and rescue The Man and transformation motif are all very common in folklore and have bled into so many types of story. Because it's a story that slaps.

#they are EVERYWHERE fun fact ACOTAR of booktok fame is also a tam lin retelling #not successfully #i have a lot of thoughts about our friend Sarah J Maas taking a story that said #“i am going to hold onto you as you become something monstrous and the power of my love will lead you back into yourself”#and turning it into a story where trauma makes you an abusive monster who doesn't deserve love LOL #sorry off topic i guess the moral of the story is manti is ALWAYS down to hate on SJM #anyway thank u for the recc beloved #asks #reading
