Beastly Beauty
by Jennifer Donnelly
“…the things right in front of you are the hardest ones to see.”
“Beastly Beauty,” by Jennifer Donnelly
This book was a great gender bender Beauty and the Beast Retelling. I love Jennifer Donnelly’s Disney retelling and this one didn’t disappoint. Instead of the traditional loveable beauty and the rude beast this book had two hard to love characters with the “Beauty” character being a thief and the “Beast” character being the prickly princess who wants to be left alone. The pacing was on the slow side, but the interesting world of the castle made up for it. The story was both equally character and plot driven with a lot of character development with a slow burn romance. I liked the world Donnelly set up in the book and loved reading it. 4 out of 5 stars.
