This is straight up ACOTAR but if ACOTAR was actually good! And it’s a standalone! Had me gagged a couple times that really made me rate it higher.

I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would! Another Beauty and the Beast retelling sounds predictable but it had so much heart and there were some twists I wasn’t expecting.

Tru has blue hair, a talent for art forgeries, and an oft-mentioned penchant for noodles. Elang is a stoic cursed half human/half dragon prince who lives in an undersea world with a talking turtle and merfolk. Not sure if there’s a more unique pairing out there. I absolutely loved them both, and their story! The whole book was beautifully written, but especially that ending OMG 🥹
I learned after I read this that it is set in the same world as Elizabeth Lim’s other books. Luckily, I don’t think it’s necessary to read them in order, though it likely would have added to the experience. I’ll guess just have to read her backlist out of order (and I plan to!).
I recommend you read this if a Beauty and the Beast retelling blended with folklore-inspired fantasy sounds appealing to you too! 🥀 🐉
