I actually can’t stop thinking about East of the Sun, West of the Moon… I’ve read that entire collection of Scandinavian fairytales, and there were some others that I liked a ton as well (I thought the one about the giant who didn’t have a heart was great too) but something about East of the Sun West of the Moon was just so good..
It is just Beauty and the Beast with extra steps, but I liked that their love was mutual before the enchantment was broken, I liked that it had the motif of a woman looking for her lost husband and subsequently rescuing him, also personified Winds are characters in like every tale in this collection but it was good to see them here too; idk I just think that this fairytale was really neat
