This book was just ok for me. Any readaptation of a fairy tale renders the whole story rather predictable, so the only thing that the author can develop on are the descriptions and the development of characters. Thank god I love the story of Beauty and the Beast. While I found the descriptive a bit too long and boring (maybe I just didn't care ouch), I liked the development of Beauty, the female lead, a lot. The romance, however was too clean haha, and lacked sparks.
