I thought this was a super fun "sequel" to the beauty and the beast story. I really loved seeing Belle arc in this story and also her realionship to the beast. This book was also super heavily political and really liked that aspects of the read. I also really like the book overall. It was a fun take on this story and these characters and really enjoyed it. The evil people in this story i did not feel very connected to. It was fun read and will def try to read more this series in the future.
