Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast by Robin McKinley

2.0

I sooo loved the beginning of this book but as I hit the 70% mark and there was still no action or suspense or even the tiniest twinge of tension, I had to DNF. The lack of dialogue was so engaging at first but it was unbearable with little else to drive the plot forward as I reached the end.

The Beast rubbed me really wrong. He was 200 years old but acted more like a teenager with ever changing moods that shifted within a second.
