Started out as a standard “Beauty and the Beast” narrative, but takes an unexpected left turn about two-thirds of the way through. I can’t decide whether that turn was abrupt or well set up.

This book had me feeling all the emotions. From sadness, to anger, to more sadness and to hopefulness, I didn’t want this book to end but at the same time, I needed to know what happened. I understand the hype. This was my first adult fantasy book and it did not disappoint!!
