A cursed prince sits alone in a secluded castle.
Few have seen him, but those who claim they have say his hair is wild and nails are sharp--like a beast's But how did this prince, once jovial and beloved by the people, come to be a reclusive and bitter monster? And is it possible that he can ever find true love and break the curse that has been placed upon him?
The Beast Within: A Tale of Beauty's Prince by Serena Valentino is a captivating read perfect for fans of fantasy and young adult fiction who delight in exploring the complexities of human nature, particularly those who enjoy stories of self-discovery, redemption, and the transformative power of love and compassion.
I found I was really drawn to this story more than I was to the first one, I felt like I couldn't put it down, but at the same time, I feel a lot less satisfied by the end of the story for some reason. I definitely am finding these stories very intriguing and I am enjoying the series, even if they aren't the most riveting books of all time.
