It was cute I think
I like the pace at which the story progressed and the satisfying ending ngl
Fuck Jak's mum man fr

Would've been a cool plot twist if she was the original woman
But yeah 
Wouldn't reread but a nice one time read

“Grief is a silent assassin, lurking in the dark of one’s soul, ready to cloak any light in shadow.”

Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite fairy tales. So, I'm always looking for retellings of this fairy tale. However, I can seem to find one retelling that I truly love.  A Court of Thorns and Roses was marked as a  Beauty and the Beast retelling but I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me how that trainwreck of a book is a retelling. So I was a little reticent when I discover this book. But I decided to read it!

I really liked this book. It is not what I expected from a retelling, but it is a solid book. As a retelling, I think that it falls a little too short (but, at least, it can be considered as a retelling). As a story, it is a solid and well-developed story. The characters are interesting and well-written. The plot twists happen at the right time and are completely unexpected. 

Overall, it's a solid story that I recommend if you're looking for retellings that can be their own story.

The story had potential but the writing was lacking and felt super clunky at times. I was entertained enough to finish it but I think it really needed another couple rounds of editing.
