by Grace Draven
Beauty and the Beast retold, okay but not the best one for me that I've read. I was so frustrated by the end. Spoilers and questionsI'm going negative first, after being left frustrated when it finally ended. This just didn't work for me and it's hard to place why, so many details didn't fit for me....

It read like a "Beauty and the beast" fan fiction - I nearly saw Belle and the singing teapot flipping through... It had a darker atmosphere and more intricate back story and a double-twist on the main theme. But still. The main plot was not exactly original. What was good? The characters, the h...
I can't deny that Grace Draven has a fertile imagination and her world building is good.
