Loved this Vietnamese f/f Beauty and the Beast retelling!
The worldbuilding was super interesting and of course I loved that the Beast was allowed to be truly beastly.
The subplot about the twins and the diseases was very well done too.
Narration was great, and while I enjoyed it a lot I think this author's writing just doesn't mesh with me in audio. I had to start over about halfway through in order to follow what was going on, though I admittedly also listened a lot while doing other things, so my attention was splot. However, the struggled with following the plot has happened with other audiobooks by this author before.
