Overall, this was a very charming fairytale retelling and short audiobook to listen to while going about my day! :)
I really liked Bryony as a protagonist and while I think that the character ofBeast and the buildup of their relationship could've been explored more and the ending felt a tad rushed, I still ended up really liking the storyline. :)
T. Kingfisher's writing style translates beautifully into audiobooks in my opinion and the narrator did a great job in bringing it to life!

i have a soft spot for fairy tale retellings, which is unfortunate because so many of them are so very bad. this one, however, hit the spot just right.
bryony and roses is a retelling of beauty and the beast, but with added mystery, horror, and a house obsessed with pink.

This may win the prize for the funniest Beauty and the Beast retelling I've ever read! It's also sweet, and quirky, and has lightly creepy/gothic vibes, and that was all a great combination for me.
