Beauties by Trungles, Marguerite Bennett
4.0
I read this as part of the Fresh Romance graphic novel anthology Vol. 1.
When I saw the title page and noticed it was a Beauty and the Beast retelling, I was disappointed. Even as a book lover I’ve never enjoyed the story of The Beauty and the Beast. I think it’s been well over-done in retellings and never really brings anything new to the table.
This however, was different.
The story was told almost fairytale-like. The art was beautiful and reminded me of vintage artwork of the original story and I loved how the story differed from the original. All in all- this was a delight.
If you are a Beauty and the Beast fiend, definitely pick this up. And if you’re a bit hesitant? I still think it’s worth giving a go.
