I like reading about life in Italy in those ages, settling back into what was and is our culture, the first section was more intriguing than the ending, which seemed a bit flat. The narration at points felt uninterested and at times it felt slightly boring
Nonetheless, a good read

This book is a work of art!
It’s a soft hug on a cold rainy day, a soft touch from a loved one. 
Its hard to describe it in its fullest: in other books you read about the characters feeling, sometimes you feel them sometimes you don’t, in this book you LIVE them, you are the main character and you know exactly what is happening, even though this is not all, it’s not enough.
One of the best reads of my life, one of my favourites.

This book is amazing! 
The first one of the saga left me like “nah not my thing”, but oh boy, this one is terrific!
The love story in it is gorgeous…
Fell in love with SJM writing

Not sure what to think about this book… it makes you reflect about decisions and all, but at the same time is not giving me too much back.
The beginning is quite slow in my opinion, and i was very close to Not finish it.

This book is a general Beauty & the beast retelling, nothing new I’d say, but still well written and enjoyable, even though somehow “basic” plot as to say.
The characters are lovable, and the love story behind it is really nice, but thats if. Can’t wait to keep going with the series
