This was a great retelling of Beauty and the Beast.
Bryony is just trying to get home when a storm hits and threatens to freeze her to death. Against her better judgement, and well due to a lack of alternatives, she seeks temporary shelter at a seemingly abandoned castle and well, you know most of the tale, but you likely haven't heard it this way.
Featuring fierce sisters, a love for gardening and a solid retelling, this is not one to miss!
