This was certainly not the best of the Five Hundred Kingdoms series, but (in my opinion) it was one of the better ones (even though it is the last one). As it stands, the previous book in the series The Sleeping Beauty is still my favorite. This one would come as a not-so-close second. Bella Beau...
A shockingly adequate middle-of-the-road book. I enjoyed it, but don't have the desire to even really think about it again. The pros: I'd read in advance that this was one of the weakest of Mercedes Lackey's Five Hundred Kingdoms books, and proceeded anyway--it was a mash-up of Beauty and the Beas...
It's almost like the further the author gets into the series, the worse the stories are. This was a lot smoother than her other stories, only for the fact that the characters were purposely isolated from everyone and everything. You had to focus on the main characters and stay in the same location. ...
Read like a YA amalgamation of Little Red Riding Hood, Beauty and the Beast, and Howl's Moving Castle, though I don't know if it's supposed to be YA or not.I haven't read any others in this series, but this one stands on its own well enough. The plot was pretty see-through from the beginning, so do...
2.5 starsThis fairytale retelling is mostly just a simple, undemanding read, but it also never really got my undivided attention or made me care what happened to everyone. I was happy things turned out well for our lovely main couple, but I was not invested.Content: mild sexuality towards the end.
I usually start my review with giving a rundown of the book in question but right now I am not in the mood to do just that for Beauty and the Werewolf. *Sigh* I don’t know why I bothered continuing on reading from this series, even though I know that the last few books from Mercedes Lackey’s Five Hu...
I'm really enjoying Mercedes Lackey's 500 Kingdoms series. Beauty and the Werewolf isn't my favourite in the series, but it is a nice take on the old fairytale. This is a romance of two ordinary people in an extraordinary world.A pleasant way to spend a couple of hours.
If you haven't read from this series before, READ "THE FAIRY GODMOTHER" BY LACKEY BEFORE READING THIS NOVELFirst and foremost, I truly struggled to connect with the main character, Bella. For the majority of the book, she appeared to be haughty, self-centered, controlling, and downright sassy (which...
I really enjoyed this very different take on werewolf stories. This one, as part of Lackey's Five Hundred Kingdoms books, also takes fairy tale tropes and twists them. Bella is a daughter of a rich merchant. She has a stepmother and two stepsisters but none of them are in the least bit evil. The ste...
