Enchant: Beauty and the Beast Retold by Demelza Carlton

3.0

Beauty and the Beast is pretty much the only Disney story I truly like. So I started reading this book with a lot of expectations. I got disappointed. Rape? Seriously? Without warning? I am a tough reader, but some things cross the line and I know there are readers out there who can get really offended by that scene, which came out of the blue. The writing is good, but the story is a bit lacking. I didn't buy that she hadn't realised the curse was the one she had performed only five years earlier; it was pretty obvious. The ending got a bit better, but it felt a bit rushed to me. Overall, a book that had potential to be a great read, but it is just a so-so book.
