I was all in until the beast transformed back. Then there was this hard-to-follow backstory about the different fairies and the King and Queen. I finally skimmed the last 20 pages or so because I was so confused and wanted to move on to another book.

so upset that I didn't like this/: I enjoyed the experience of finally reading the original(?) story & all the interactive parts of this edition, but I couldn't deal with the 1740 language and repetitive vocabulary. I dont even want to talk about it anymore because the Disney version is my favorite and this was such a big disappointment unfortunately. ):
slow-paced

What was that ending??? Love it still 💛💛
medium-paced

Nothing like any of the movies I have ever watched.

1. Beast was not a jerk at all 😐

2. There is a whole Fairy World

3. The Villian is an old Fairy

(BIG SPOILER)

4. Beauty is Beasts cousin 🤢

not bad though😊 happy to finally know the real story 😁
fast-paced

I've only ever known the Disney version and I think I prefer it.

The story of the beauty and the beast is pretty good but it's really only the first half of this book. The second half is a very convoluted backstory that's exhausting to read and keep track of.
I really wouldn't recommend reading this to children for that reason and because the language would be too difficult.
