Description Supposing Books Deerskin

As Princess Lissla Lissar reaches womanhood, it is clear to all the kingdom that in her beauty she is the image of her dead mother, the queen. But this likeness forces her to flee from her father's lust and madness; and in the pain and horror of that flight she forgets who she is and what it is she flees from: forgets almost everything but the love and loyalty of her dog, Ash, who accompanies her. But a chance encounter on the road leads to a job in another king's kennels, where the prince finds himself falling in love with the new kennel maid . . . and one day he tells her of a princess named Lissla Lissar, who had a dog named Ash.

Write-Up Containing Books Deerskin
I have hit page 92 and I am officially done reading this book. My spidey-sense was telling me all along that something was not right, but I clung to the naive hope that I was wrong about where it was going. Not so. I am not in any way averse to dark themes, but this whole incest/rape thing just seemed gratuitous. I understand it's based on a creepy old fairy tale, but neither the main character nor her father were believable. I didn't really see overarching reason for their actions at any point.

I love this book. It's incredible. Robin McKinley did an amazing job of taking a fairy tale and creating a beautiful story of strength and survival out of it.If you are not yet coping with a sexual abuse trauma, don't read this book. If you have no sexual abuse trauma, or are dealing with it, this book is wonderful. If you are in that first category, I think it would be too jarring, too raw, too something.

Im going to be explicit about some plot details, because most of the criticism of this book seems to come from people who didnt know what they were getting into. So: Deerskin is a fairy tale retelling about a princess who is raped by her father. If you demand that your fairy tales be lighthearted, or your rape/trauma stories 100% realistic, this may not be the book for you. For what its worth, I think its a fantastic book, although there were times I put it aside for something more cheerful.

I genuinely feel at a loss for words when it comes to Robin McKinley, not because her work inspires speechlessness, but rather because it doesn't. After finishing The Blue Sword last year, I realized that much of McKinley's charm was lost on me. I found one of her best pieces of work to be dull and in need of desperate polishing. Thus, I didn't really intend to read Deerskin but the premises sounded too intriguing to pass up. A beautiful princess, largely ignored for much of her life, comes to

I was only there for the dog!!! Mel 🖤🐶🐺🐾

This tale is a retelling of the French fairytale, Donkeyskin. While I enjoyed the story for the most part, the pace bogged down at times. I loved the connection between Lissar and her dog, Ash.

This book strikes such a discord in me that I have to start reviewing before actually finishing it. Halfway through, the writing is beautiful, exquisite, but circles around and repeats itself so often I was on page 90 before anything had actually happened, which would be fine, except for the hazy treatment of rape and incest. It doesn't capture the seriousness or tragedy. ...And having finished it, I think the same. Boring is a mild word for it - I've never read anything that dragged, and
