Overall, an interesting retelling of beauty and the beast. 

<Spoiler>The Beast remains at Beast at the end -- Bryony remains human. Honestly, I shouldn't have been surprised because there was technically plant porn alluded to but I think I just choose to ignore it. This was a cute story but I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about the bestiality of it all.</Spoiler>
