At the beginning, I was not into this as much as I was at the end. It was kind of confusing and I felt like I was not connecting. Then, once Hope came into the picture, things got really interesting. Once identities were uncovered and the story continued to unfold, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
The twist on the Beauty and the Beast story was up my alley and unique too!

It's one of the most original B&B retellings I've read, not because it's gender-swapped, but because of the main point delivered at the very end. I find that it fits this story so much better than how the OG ended. I'm being intentionally vague because it's sort of a twist revealed at the end.
I guessed early on who the ladies of the court were but it didn't lower the value of the story to me at all. I found this whole concept to be fascinating and enjoyable.
While the pacing is not the greatest (it's quite slow for me), it does have a valid reason. I believe this story focuses more on the character developments and internal battles - which it does very well.
I found all of the characters to be wonderful and the side characters didn't feel like "filler people." There's also no real "villain" just this scary beast and the emotional damage the characters have to overcome

It takes place from Beau's perspective, not Arabella's, despite the blurb. Sure there are a few chapters from her POV, but it is primarily Beau. I was in a reading slump while reading this, so I didn't really enjoy as I should have. It is a very clever books with many twists. You thought you knew Beauty and the Beast, did you? Well, you will still be gasping as the story unfolds. Have fun!

Couldn't get into the story. The tale of Beauty and the Beast isnt that interesting to me anyway.
