This was leaps and bounds better than any of the other books I’ve read in the Twisted Tales series. This is my 4th book in the series and my favorite, so far. Belle was great and not as annoying as the other MC’s in Braswell’s other books. There are a lot of similarities to the original story but a lot of different takes. It was so fun seeing how she took the story. All the magic and new characters were great. She takes a completely different route to that ending and it was an entertaining ride. I’m not sure why I’m still surprised to see such dark and brutal moments in these books. I don’t know that they are age-appropriate, for the intended age. Overall, I enjoyed this one and I am so glad. I was about to call it quits. I am looking forward to the next book, which is written by Elizabeth Lim!
