This book was pretty good! A Curse So Dark and Lonely is a Beauty and the Beast retelling, and although you kind of know how the story is going to go, it was gripping, unpredictable and had me on the edge of my seat! I liked the characters and writing style (dual POVs are always great) but I felt like some of the pacing was off a bit and I am excited to get to know the characters more over the next couple of books. It was a pretty easy read that almost gave me The Selection and Sorcery of Thorns vibes at first but much better!
