A review by librarydanielle
Beauty's Kingdom by A.N. Roquelaure

2.0

i was disappointed in this. it isnt nearly as well written as the trilogy. the writing is a bit stilited and overly florid at the same time. the plot just wasnt there for me either. it could have been told in less than 1/3 of what we got, and there was a bunch of random side happenings that had nothing to do with anything but be distracting. the relationships between the characters felt flat and underdeveloped.
i liked the remake of Bellavalten as a consentual kingdom, the premise is a good one, the execution just didnt work.
