I went into this completely blind and holy shit did i love every minute of it. Beauty and the Beast is my favourite story of all time and when i realized it was kind of a retelling or heavily inspired by it, I was pleasantly surprised and devoured the book in a few short hours.
When i was first introduced to Nessa in Brutal Prince, i didnt really cared about her to be completely honest and found her abit boring. But as i read through her thoughts and got to know her as the book progressed, i found myself warming up to her and see how amazing she really is. I even found some things i had in common with her.
And of course, we can’t forget about Mikolaj. I’ve said it before and i have no shame in saying it again : I fucking love mafia men.
He was immaculate all throughout the book, either while he was planning the downfall of his wife’s family or treating her like a princess.
I do wish him falling for Nessa was more dragged out because it did feel abit rushed from his part but other than that, it was a really great read, even if the story itself wasn’t perfect.
I must say, if you’re planning to read this as a stanalone, thats not the best idea because you wont have one damn clue what they’re talking about at first so it’s better to read the first book and then come to this one.
