There are books that could sweep you off your feet. This one belongs to it. I'm a big sucker for fairy tale retellings. I do love happy endings. The first time I've seen this book in Goodreads, I instantly fell in love with it. The title. The cover. The blurb. I had high expectations for it. And tha...

Of Beast and Beauty can be rated in one word, amazing. Ive only read a few fairy tale retellings and this is one of my favourite's. When I saw it was a retelling of Beauty and The Beast I ordered it straight away. The Pure Heart and The Dark Heart were once one being but when the humans came from an...

Beauty and the Beast is one of my favoritest fairy tales of all times. I always loved Beast more than any of the other Disney Princes (with the exception of Flynn Rider - but hey, technically he is not a prince) and actually found the Beast cuddlier, and his mannerisms more adorable and helluva lot ...

Rating: 4.5 StarsEvery good fairy tale has a few critical elements. We have our heroine and our hero, their epic tale of romance, the obstacle in their way, and, most likely, there is a curse to break as well. “Beauty and the Beast” is easily the best of these fairy tale stories, far more romantic t...

It's just as well that I didn't remember my past mishaps with [a:Stacey Jay|1691206|Stacey Jay|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1241969318p2/1691206.jpg] when I picked up this one. Or perhaps it'd have been better if I had and shunned it. [b:Of Beast and Beauty|16113606|Of Beast and Beau...

To see full review click here.I love Beauty and the Beast. Its not only my favorite Disney movie as an adult but it's my all time favorite fairytale and of course I gobble up any retelling I can get my hands on. The sad truth of the matter, is most of these retellings have been pretty lame. Whil...

Actual rating: 3.5This book is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, where Beast is the captive, and Beauty is neither a beauty nor a paragon. Isra is not Belle, she is Rapunzel, she is Sleeping Beauty. She is a princess in a tower, locked up safe, coddled, and infuriatingly protected from the real w...

Originally posted at Paperback Wonderland. Okay, that 3rd pov (Bo) was one too many, it really wasn't needed, it just made it seem like the author couldn't find a more skilful way to impart that information.The thing about this book is that the stories within it - the legends that are told - are a...

This is one of my favorite fairy tale retellings ever. Of Beast and Beauty just completely blew me away with its gorgeous prose, intricate setting, and complex characters. As its own story, not even as a retelling, it is a beautiful book.And even though it's a retelling, the characters are so unique...
