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.
