Enchant: Beauty and the Beast Retold by Demelza Carlton
4.0
Another re-telling of Beauty and the Beast. This one follows the original a bit more than "Beautiful Beast", which I recently read.
It was pure pleasure to listen to the narrator, Mary Sarah, who seemed to be a perfect match for this kind of story! I really liked Zuleika (or Lady Belle, as Prince Vardan called her), as she was a very capable young woman, with her heart in the right place. The prince was likeable as well, if a bit stereotyped.
***SPOILER ALERT!***
The only thing I had some issues with was that I found it quite unrealistic that it took Zuleika so long to realise that it was her own spell that had cursed the prince. On the other hand, it had become a completely different book if she had...!
