Dropping my rating on this one from a 4 to a 2, and getting rid of the physical copy of the book. I remember enjoying the story. But it's been 10+ years since I read this book last, and literally the only detail I can remember about it (beyond the Swan Lake retelling thing which is on the blurb so I'm not sure if I'm remembering it from the book itself or from the blurb) is that the book's hero rapes a girl who then commits suicide because of it. And while at the time I was able to move past that because "he was sorry afterward" I'm no longer willing to let that slide. (

The entire book felt very familiar, even though I'm sure I never read it before. I was familiar with the tale of the Swan Princess, but I really enjoyed how in depth this was. There were definitely some suprises near the end that I didn't see coming. (

A retelling of the fairy tale/ballet/whatever it is. This and the non-Disney animated movie are actually the only exposure I've had to Swan Lake, so I probably have a fairly skewed view of the story. Regardless, I always welcome classics told from the perspective of the whore/villain character. (

Dreadful, silly fairy tale book. I've read twice! I especially like the narrative from the point of view of the "wicked" daughter, Odile, and her daddy issues. (

Long before she began the Tales of the Five Hundred Kingdoms for Harlequin's Luna label, Lackey had begun to explore the fun to be had in retelling some of the world's classic fairy tales - in many ways, the world's original expressions of Sci Fi and Fantasy - from a more modern point of view. Although this is not a new technique from an author, by any means, and although Black Swan (like Firebird) is not quite as tongue-in-cheek or just plain cheeky as some of the Five Hundred Kingdom books, it nonetheless is a fun retelling of a classic, like meeting an old friend and taking an opportunity to reminisce. Fun brain candy. (
