    A Fantastic Traditional Beauty and the Beast Retelling
  

*by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2019*

I've known about this book for a while, and it's been on my "TBR" list for longer than I'd like to admit (as a Beauty and the Beast enthusiast.) When I had some extra credits on Audible, I decided "Well, what the heck!? Let's get this audiobook!" And in all honesty, I was a little apprehensive from the voice of the narrator. I was afraid I'd become bored and put this book aside (just as some other reviews here on Goodreads said they did ultimately.)I'm very familiar with the original tale of "Beauty and the Beast" - the sisters, the rose garden, the nightly proposals, the enchanted castle, and the magical ring that transports Beauty to and from the Beast's castle. So, I knew this was going to be more true to the tale than perhaps someone who thinks of just the Disney tale. And I wasn't disappointed - not by far.I loved hearing the Beast's pov; I probably sound a little dismal in saying that I enjoyed feeling his longing, feeling his hopelessness. And the emotions as he explores what love is, if it's what he was feeling towards Isabeau (Beauty). I really enjoyed seeing a bit more of the "backstory" to the Beast - though, there were times that I felt a little perplexed. What had happened to all the servants when he had been changed (For it was magic that served him later as a Beast?) How did he live for decades? Small things that didn't take away from the story - but just left me pondering as I listened to the story.I really enjoyed the audiobook - and actually, was unable to finish listening to the ending as I had to go out and about in public, so I quickly bought the e-book version, just so that I could read the ending. There are a few things in the book that I felt were a little bit "over the top" - such as a scene regarding Isabeau's father. I was shocked, for sure - but then felt a little angry that the father had resorted to such an act. And the ending - there were a few things that made me roll my eyes a little, but at the same token, I appreciated seeing more than where the story usually leaves us. And the Beast was given a name! A Name! I was thrilled.I loved the stories of the sisters and their life after Isabeau left. I liked that there was more of a reason as to why Isabeau took care of the family before she left, rather than the traditional, "they were mean sisters." I think that fairy tale element gets a little old after so many "Cinderella" retellings.For anyone who enjoys "Beauty and the Beast" - you'll love this. If you loved "Beauty" or "Rose Daughter" by Robin McKinley - then this is exactly your speed. If you're more of a "A Curse So Dark and Lonely" reader - then, maybe just approach this book knowing it is a little slow. But it's not a terrible slow - it's the sort of slow that begins like a lazy summer day, and then suddenly by the end, you're racing to the rose garden to save your precious Beast.Now I just want Leife to write an Isabeau POV - just so we can see the dreams! I desperately want to see all the dreams that Isabeau experienced (because there were a few times, I got very tired of her tears, and just wanted to know what the heck was going on with her.)

    Review **Contains Spoilers
  

*by O***K on Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2019*

**Contains SpoilersI loved the Beast (which is probably something to be expected as it's his side of the story), but I didn't like Isabeau at all. I found her aloof, a bit snobbish and **gringe mentally unstable.Claude and Marie were also unrelateable. Shallcross alluded to them at the start of the book as being somewhat lazy, selfish and self-involved and overnight they turned into 'what-was-supposed-to-be' likeable characters. That is just bad character development in the writing.I missed the magical and mystical objects.

A unique retelling of.  Beloved classic. I love a good fairytale with Beauty and the Beast being my favourite. This delightful book takes us into the story through the Beasts loin  of view.I loved it.
