Beauty by Robin McKinley
2.0
Picked up as part of "Humble Book Bundle: Women of Science Fiction & Fantasy presented by Open Road Media" bundle and quickly read through in between heavier books.
I liked the semi-snarky writing and the self-conscious first person view, that would have been really relatable when I was 10 years younger. However the story itself was really drawn out without any actual adventure or any real conflict thrown in. Half of it was Beauty's background and when it finally came time to meet Beast, it was extremely bland, with almost no struggles whatsoever.
There are better and more exciting retellings of the story out there.
