A review by aehmyers
Lord of Eternal Night by Ben Alderson

dark fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No

3.0

I am not a fan of myth retellings. That’s pretty much my only qualm with this book. This is a pretty interesting retelling of beauty and the beast, full of horror and spice. And the ending is quite the twist, too. I’m just the type of person that cringed at every familiar trope. I almost quit reading at the library. It’s a testament to the writing that I finished it. If you enjoy books inspired by beauty and the beast and horror, this is a great book. It’s just not my cup of tea. But I hope it’s true fans find it and show it all the appropriate love.
