A Tale of Beauty and Beast by Melanie Cellier

medium-paced

4.0

This is the first retelling of beauty and the beast I’ve read and I’m so glad I read these books in order! These books are very detailed and on the slower side. The build up is CRUCIAL for the last 20% of the books though! Every time I get to the climax it’s amazing. I also love the world building in this series. These romances have me swooning and I love the subtle classic details of each fairytale. Beauty and the beast tends to hit you over the head with Disney characteristics because it’s so memorable but this book was very delicate with the nostalgia and wove the new parts of the story perfectly with the classic tale.
