A review by bxsicrissa
Beastly Beauty by Jennifer Donnelly
2.0
I’m a reteller lover and I enjoyed the fresh take on this one, especially the gender swap element! Arabella was pretty okay but I just didn’t feel she was… beastly enough to carry the same impact. Beau and Bells barely interacted, which made the romance feel a bit lackluster.
On the upside, I really enjoyed the courtly intrigue; that little reveal genuinely caught me off guard. And the ending was a nice surprise too. It definitely veered away from the original but still felt satisfying and true to the story’s new direction.
