terdeck 's review for:

1.0

Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairytale and I was excited to read another rendition. I was extremely disappointed. Parts of the story were good but the extremes in personalities made me hate the characters rather than grow attached to them. Not to mention a trigger warning and the needlessly graphic assault.

Seriously. Lucie was annoying but there is not enough time or hatred to describe my loathing for JeanCloup. I get it, he's a total douche. The rape and manipulations were not necessary to convince me the guy was evil.

I thought the whole girl/candlestick thing was weird and then having the beauty be shallow was dumb. All in all I was not impressed.
