EAT, SLEEP, READ, REPEAT. discussion

Retellings. Sometimes they let us and the legacy of what they're retelling down-and other times they retell it perfectly and even IMPROVE an already good or great story.
What are your feelings on retellings and do you have any favourites?
I personally like the Lunar Chronicles series and the Dorothy Must Die series.

THE WRATH AND THE DAWN... it's a retelling of A Thousand and One Nights. Also, A Court of Thorns and Roses.
I love YA retellings. I really need them really entertaining, especially when the author changes a lot of things that were not in the original.

I also enjoyed the Lunar Chronicles, though I felt the last book was a bit of a let down in my opinion, but this isn't the right discussion to talk about that, huh?

I also like agree with Taylor with A Court of Thorns and Roses which I really enjoyed, though I was disappointed (ish) about how it was a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, but the Beast wasn't much of a beast.

I agree with @Kageyama about the ACoTaR and the beast, although he was a beast or kinda at the begining but then he stayed mostly human like. I think Insanity (Mad in Wonderland) is really good, even though there are too many retells of Alice in Wonderland

Valiant! Technically a retelling of the brave little tailor, although i'll admit it has very little in common with the original story. But I'd choose valiant over the brave little tailor any day.

I really love ACOTAR by Sarah J. Maas. My favorite retelling is Throne of Glass, also by Sarah J. Maas. It's a very loose retelling of Cinderella.
