The Black Swan by Mercedes Lackey
Swan lake told from the view point of the beautiful and cold Odile. My personal favorite I have always loved Odile as a villain and in the Japanese anime version of this is how I always imagine when reading about this ballet.
This re-made fairy tale is about how women of the middle ages were thought of by themselves and the men in their lives. Very interesting tale, I would recommend this to someone looking for vacation read, or finals stress relief. Also if you are taking a class on re-vamped fairy tales, or in need of a fiction book for a woman's studies class.
The idea that Odile wasn't as bad as she is portrayed speaks to my inner child who has always loved the dark brunette, or the silver haired witch over the pure golden swan queen.
