Before Beauty by Brittany Fichter

4.0

This was an enjoyable Beauty & The Beast retelling. It was interesting seeing how Ever, this book’s beast, permanently injured Isa, the Belle of the story, when they were children. This element made the character relationships in this young adult tale more complex and interesting. I also liked the unique twist of the Fortress’s servants being turned into shadows as well as the magical elements weaved into this story. Overall this was a great retelling.
