I have read and liked a lot of Tepper (mostly in my teens, although I keep meaning to reread the True Game books because they were so formative), but her Beauty was so, so upsetting -- I read it when it was brand new in 1991 and I still remember the visceral horror I felt, which overcame any ability I might have had to understand what position she was taking about anything. Definitely my least favourite Beauty by orders of magnitude.

I am not certain what my most favourite is; I do like Rose Daughter very much but I felt like the seams showed more than I would hope for. I think I may be under-read in B&tB retellings, unlike versions of Tam Lin where I have read all the ones I can find. Are there any you would particularly recommend? (But do ignore that question if you have already mentioned a bunch in comments, I am reading those next.)
