A Gentle Hope: A Beauty and the Beast Retelling by Sarah Carlisle
5.0
4.5- Wow oh wow!!
Such a sweet and amazing Beauty and the Beast retelling! What made this for me was a worthy villain to LOATH. And I do mean LOATH! Anytime his name appeared I would internally groan. I honestly felt so bad for Iara. She just wanted a simple life surrounded by family who loved her, and every obstacle was irksome. The romance was so wholesome and beautiful. It displayed the theme of "gentle hope" to a T.
If there's anything I didn't like it was Iara's family. Her dad "Maurice's" character was done so dirty. BUT I GET IT! It's a retelling and it worked. I was just really hurt because I always liked his character in the cartoon.
A high recommendation for readers of clean fairytales in which good overcomes evil and there is hope for redemption.
