I read this because one of my favorite people loved this book. She isn't wrong. It is absolutely beautiful. I cried at the end, and I never cry. It is a Beauty and the Beast retelling. I loved that it was non traditional in a lot of it's retelling. It felt very gothic in a way to me. Very much based on Russian folklore throughout the story.
Yeva is trying to find her father, who disappeared in the forest. He was convinced something was hunting him.
What does the story look like when Beauty is a capable hunter and is hunting the Beast?
I loved the folklore tied into the story. This will always be one of my favorite books now. I loved the ending.
