This is no princess tale…

When I first was notified of these issues I was extremely interested. It’s a twist on a classic tale, which as you may have guessed, Beauty and the Beast. What really captured my attention was that Belle is from a long line beast hunters. I’m sure there is some other retelling where Belle hunts down the beasts, but in these issues, she hunts way more than that.

There are many layers to the story being told involving characters (some you may recognize from the story), choices of weapons, locations, and even the creatures in which Belle has to fight. I was even shocked when a certain mythology creature showed up.

There isn’t a scene that is dull or boring and every page is filled with action and dialogue. The art and style were also very pleasing to look at and you can even spend some time taking it all in. This was really an entertaining read.

Seeing Belle hunting down a new beast not because it is her job but because her best friend has been taken was a nice change of pace for the character but I was hoping for some relation to the original source material which I wasn't getting a lot of. However, Belle's character is developing and the story is moving forward at a great pace but at the cost of storytelling and plot in my opinion.
