A review by hrbumga
The Merchant's Daughter by Melanie Dickerson
3.0
I liked this book, I like the Beauty and the Beast concept. What I find interesting is that a lot of reviews say that it butchered the concept, but I think it did very well. It is not going to directly mirror Beauty and the Beast, it is its own story, afterall. I fell in love with Lord le Wyse.
Another reason this book gets poor reviews is the use of Christianity throughout the novel. In most cases, that would annoy me as well, however I was fine with this because I understood how big of a role it played in the protagonist's lifestyle and way of thinking.
I very much enjoyed this story, and I would recommend it to those who are open-minded in viewing the Christian faith. Just because I'm not Christian, doesn't mean I should hate on the religion and its use in storytelling. I didn't think of it as annoying, rather I used it as a way to learn more about the faith.
