So, retelling of Beauty and The Beast.....honestly.... (I've read better retellings oops sorry). 
 So my thoughts on this book; the main character Nyx, how do I say this nicely um...ok yeah... I didn't like her. Or more like I tried to like her but I just didn't get that real connection with her, nam sayin? I felt like she was very very very indecisive the entire time, was kind of a coward , she really didn't have that much impact as a main character. The other characters, Shade/Ignifex, her sister Astraia and the rest of her family members, they all had poor development. 
 Another factor that I would like to point out is that the redundancy in the story was just plain annoying. Instead of explaining the gist of the story, I found myself getting slapped in the face with the same sentences and main ideas over and over again. With Nyx and Ignifex, it was literally one chapter about them hating each other and then the next they were madly in love. It was a back and forth kind of thing going on and it confused me on how their relationship was going to work. So yes I will say it again; Poor character development, people. And redundancy. The story could have been better if only there were more to see with the plot line and if Nyx wasn't such a lost frustrating girl all throughout. Sorry not sorry. 
 I understand that this is a trilogy? So not quite sure if I'll be getting my hands on the next one real soon. Yas that's all bye. But hey, no hate. Haha!
