She adds physical and descriptive details to make the story longer, but she doesn’t actually do anything new or interesting with the characters or the original plot. Even though I haven’t read her best-selling fairy tale (Spindle’s End, a retelling of Sleeping Beauty), I’d say that when it comes to retelling fairy tales, I much prefer something like Neil Gaiman’s Snow, Glass, Apple.
