I got this as an Audiobook during one of the SYNCs (these provide some audiobooks for free for a limited period of time), and I don't know why but this was the second Beauty and the Beast retelling I got to listen to in this way. While I like retellings, it is always a little bit problematic because...
I really enjoyed this. It's one of the best retellings I've read, actually feels original, not so much a retelling. The romance is believable. The characters are great. The world is well done. The storyline is awesome. I definitely fell into this book. It's about a people who came to a planet...
Just posted a new review on the blog. Here's a taste: Oh my, Oh my. I never expected this book to be... well, this book. That's not to say that I didn't go into it with high exceptions, because I did. I couldn't not to when it had such a gorgeous cover and was marketed as a retelling of one of my ...
Just a side note first: Yes, THAT Stacey Jay. I hadn't actually remembered the Kickstarter controversy until I was nearing the end of the novel, so whatever I thought of that, it didn't color my perception of the book. The first half of this novel is divine. I read it directly after Rosamund Hodge...
This was a cross genre epic fantasy sci fi novel. I would not really call it a retelling of beauty and the beast, though there are some obvious similarities in the stories (and the title ;). It wasn't perfect, but pretty close to it. I loved the romance and the world building was lush in detail and...
How refreshing it is to come across a retelling of a traditional fairytale that goes beyond taking the plot of the original story and simply tweaking it a little to suit the alternate, new version. "of Beast and Beauty" does much more than that, and adds a new dimension to the story of Beauty and th...
Oh my. Oh my. I never expected this book to be... this book. I mean, it was on my GR TBR for so long. First, I saw the gorgeous cover, than read the title and found out it was a Beauty and the Beast retelling (duh), and I was sold. But I did not expect this world, which is actually a bit of sci-fi a...
That book totally enchanted me. I love the characters, Isra and Gem. Also Needle, I just live for these little side characters that are just the greatest and most supportive people. And needle was just that and more, I love how she got her own little happy end. I totally appreciated how slowly t...
I had been looking forward to Princess of Thorns for awhile. I put it on hold though for awhile, due to some drama that occurred in January. I didn’t want it biasing my review of the book, so I gave enough time between it so that I could distance any feelings I had. Princess of Thorns is a clust...
Re-read of the paperback. Too bad we have to do it like this.I needed a book for my US challenge, and I found out Megan's story takes place in Arkansas, a state I didn't have on my list yet.As I said in the tiny review for the paperback, I am hoping for a 3rd book or even more books. However, it has...
