Rediscover the Enchantment!
A ship bearing the souls of sinful sailors drifts upon a ghostly sea. An abbey looms as the final defense between mortals and ghouls of the underworld. In the stillness of a throne room, statues stand forever frozen in a moment of terror. Monsters and men stalk their prey deep in the jungle's shadows. A rose blooms in the dead of winter, sheltered in the ruins of an ancient Scottish castle.
And only true love can free the Beast from his prison.

11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. I was delighted by the ways in which the stories adhered to--and ... By K. Reeder This was a new experience for me--an anthology of stories based on the same fairy tale. As I read through them, I began to be aware that I felt rich, as I feel when time unexpectedly opens up in my day, or my gas tank is full--the feeling that the world is full of limitless potential, and that I can step out in any direction and be off on an adventure. I had in my hands not one but five completely new worlds to explore, places I'd never been before, although some of them did seem vaguely familiar. As I moved through one world into the next, I was delighted by the ways in which the stories adhered to--and deviated from--the original. Though each of them had the kind and courageous heroine (and not a milk-water miss among them), the Beast ranged from frightening to cranky to underappreciated to merely misunderstood, and in one case wasn’t who you thought it was at all. Not one of the authors had to resort to teacups to people her tale with supporting characters, some of whom were as endearing as the principals. It was with regret that I left each of those worlds, only to be swept up into and captivated by another.I've always thought of Beauty and the Beast as the most satisfying of the classic fairy tales, because it depicts a Truth of the Real World--unconditional love actually does change the human heart (even a beastly one). I feel that these people really will live happily ever after. (I've always been somewhat skeptical of that outcome in Cinderella--yes, she's a sweetheart, but is he really more than an empty suit, gold lace notwithstanding?) Yet Five Enchanted Roses was even better than I imagined it would be. Now I want to read the first book in this series, Five Glass Slippers (yes, I know, Cinderella), and then the to-be-announced next in the series, dubbed “Five Something Something” by the editor, Anne Elizabeth Stengl (whose Tales of Goldstone Wood series I am constantly recommending to my friends and acquaintances).There is one last element that I loved about this book. The pictures at the beginning of each story, the visual introduction to that world, were just beautiful. (I kept scrolling back to take a look at them in the middle of my reading.) So, lovers of Fairy Tales, pick up or download this book. Adventure awaits. Now I must go find some Slippers.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. "Beauty and the Beast" is one of my favorite fairy tales By char w "Beauty and the Beast" is one of my favorite fairy tales; I love the Disney version with it's fun songs and characters, and classic storyline. When I heard that the next Five Something Somethings contest was going to be "Beauty and the Beast," I was so excited! Having now read the five winning stories, I was right to be. This new collection has a much different feel overall than Five Glass Slippers, but Five Enchanted Roses is no less amazing. I feel that these stories have a more serious air to them, perhaps because they deal with a more serious theme. While all the stories are completely, 100% unique, they are also completely recognizable as "Beauty and the Beast" retellings. Oh, and did I mention the gorgeous cover? And the amazing cover pages for each of the stories? Because they are seriously pretty, and help immediately set the mood of each individual story."Espirit de la Rose" by Kaycee Browning is a wonderful opening to the collection. It draws you in immediately, jumping right into the action. This story is set on a ghostly pirate ship filled with some unpredictable characters that keep you turning the pages to find out what will happen next. With this and "Rosara and the Jungle King," I was unsure how such different settings would work with a "Beauty and the Beast" story, but they certainly did, giving each one distinctive atmosphere.Next comes Savannah Jezowski's story "Wither." This story was perhaps the most unpredictable one for me. With a sympathetic beast character and a headstrong young girl, this story kept me guessing until the end. It seems to follow the original story closely for a while, but the setting is so different that you never doubt for a moment it's a new story entirely."Stone Curse" was much different from the original. In starting at the castle and having to venture out, and bringing the beast along with her, Karyna shows her determination to break the curse from the very beginning. She isn't the traditional "Beauty" character that is hesitant to love the Beast, but is instead set on breaking the spell. Jenelle Schmidt created a cast of endearing characters in Karyna, Barend, and Ritter that had me laughing at their antics, nervous as they go on an adventure, and desperate to see how their story ended. Though I was able to see part of how the ending would turn out, another part of the story was a complete surprise to me.Dorian Tsukioka's tale was perhaps the one I was most excited to read. "Rosara and the Jungle King" is set in the Amazon Jungle amidst local tribes, rivers, and jungle creatures. When I found out that one of the winning stories had such a unique setting, I immediately wanted to read it and find out how the author did it. the story did not disappoint my hopes for it. With unpredictable twists and turns, I followed Rosara through her quest to find happiness and escape the life laid before her. This story does perhaps have the most mature content, and while never explicit, it may be a read best left for older teens and adults. Still, the message throughout the book about sacrifice and love are good ones, and they remain true to the original "Beauty and the Beast."Finally, the story that kept closest to the original material is Wulver's Rose. Set in Scotland, with lots of great accents to remind you whenever there is dialogue, Hayden Wand managed to somehow keep much of the original story-line while still making it her own. I think that if I had to pick a favorite from this collection, this story may be it. Bonnie is a relatable character trying to learn how to forgive herself, even after her family has forgiven her. And the Wulver has a motivation all his own, perhaps stronger than that of even the original Beast. It was a wonderful closing to a wonderful collection.I recommend this book for lovers of fairy tales, but also those who love adventure, a little romance, and being surprised by the ending of a book. This collection has all of that and more. (Plus the beautiful cover :)) Anne Elisabeth and her team at Rooglewood did a great job compiling a collection that, in my opinion, is even better than the last. The author of each story did an amazing job at writing unique retellings that still capture the essence of the original.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Beautiful Retellings of a Classic Tale: Diverse and Engaging By Meredith L. Burton Beauty and the Beast is a wondrous tale of looking beyond what we see to the hidden truth beneath. One of my all-time favorite tales, the story addresses the theme of the unloved encountering grace. I enjoy any retelling of this fairy tale, and Five Enchanted Roses presents marvelous reinterpretations that are not easily forgotten. Set in such varied locations as a pirate's ship, a world where wraiths and ghouls prey upon the weak and an Amazonian-like jungle, this book will delight any discriminating reader. Below are my ratings and opinions of each story.1. "Esprit de la Rose," by Kaycee Browning. Rating: 3 stars. I loved the creativity of having this story set on a pirate ship. Cecilia, the heroine, is likable, loyal to those who have hurt her in the past and spunky in a gentle way. The undersea mermaids provided a creepy but compelling touch, and I loved the idea of the ship as a character, how it mirrored those aboard it. I never felt like I truly connected with the beast character, but the story is fun and engaging.2. "Wither," by Hannah Jezowski. Rating: 5 stars. Set in a world where ravenous ghouls and wraiths seek to gain dominance, this is a heartwrending tale of one protector's desperate attempt to save that with which he's been entrusted. "Wither" is also the story of Lilybet, a practical girl with a fiercely loyal spirit determined to save her younger sister at all costs. I loved the characterization in this story, and the beast is extremely empathetic. The world building is superb, leaving room for the hopeful possibility of more stories from this author. I loved how the chapters of this tale alternated from the beauty and beast characters' perspectives.3. "Stone Curse," by Jenelle Schmidt. Rating: 5 stars. This story tells of a Beauty character who must leave a castle in order to lift a curse. It is a tale of a visiting prince who is transformed through no fault of his own. I loved the twist ending and how the author examines the theme of what truly makes a person a beast. The tale is simply told but beautifully written. One of my favorites.4. "Rosara and the Jungle King," by Dorian Tsukioka. Rating: 4 stars. Set in a jungle where brutal men seek to ruthlessly claim what they desire, this story tells of a young woman's desperate fight for survival. It is a coming-of-age story in which two characters flee from predetermined fates only to find each other. Yet many dangers stand in their way, and can Rosara's newly-found friend be trusted? Rosara's voice is engaging, and I loved her independent spirit. The setting is wonderfully conveyed and unique. I did feel that some of the characterization fell flat, and the love story seemed too abrupt for my taste. However, Mrs. Tsukioka employs beautiful imagery, and I particularly loved the description of the Karawara, or "jungle spirits."5. "The Wulver's Rose," by Hayden Wand. 5 stars. My utmost favorite of this collection, this retelling is set in Scotland. The tale most closely resembles the original classic in both tone and plot. However, there's more than enough surprises to maintain interest, and the beast's motivations moved me to tears. Bonnie is sweet but strong, and I loved how Ms. Wand explored the themes of guilt and sacrifice so compellingly. Filled with breathtaking imagery, authentic dialect and vivid characters, this story is worth the price of the book alone.I encourage everyone to read this riveting collection of inventive retellings of such a universal story. You will not be disappointed. God bless you all.
