Juliet Marillier really works wonders writing this book. Though I almost lose my patience sometimes because of the length of the book, I have to say the plot is wonderfully sketched and perfectly carried out. I believe there is a terribly great deal of planning, and as a reader, I really appreciate ...

A lovely, if long-winded retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Actually, I'd describe it as a fantasy reimagining of Jane Eyre as well: a heroine escaping great loss and cruelty finds refuge in the eerie house of a tormented man, where not all is as it seems.

Stayed up until three to finish this, because putting it down was next to impossible -- something that's become the norm with anything written by Juliet Marillier.This is one of her darkest stories yet in content and atmosphere. Marillier succeeds in flooding a very grim story with hope (an embarras...

More of a 2.5 stars as I liked elements, but it was surprisingly longish and dragged. The magic was strange, but the book did have atmosphere. Moody and dark, mysterious as all get out and creepy and spooky. And I was far from sold on the love story, but I brought it along on trip and had nothing el...

Based on the legends of Beauty and the Beast, the tale follows Caitrin, a female scribe, as she atte...
