I loved the first book in this series. It brought an extra layer to the Villain. As this was not the case in this book, I was dissapointed with how this story of the Beast continued.
First of all I already found it weird that we would get a backstory of him. He was a brat, he got cursud for it. That didn't change at all and he turned out to be an even more spoiled brat.
On top of it a big part that was told was the movie but then with some extra perspecitves on it. Even that did not make me excited about the story.
What I did like about it is how it made references to other stories so it alle matches togheter. The Evil Queen was mentioned as was Charming and Ursula.
So I hope book 3 will be better. Hopes on Ursula.
