I like my castles cold, my moors windswept, and my heroines swooning.

Okay so… Beauty and the Beast with a Gaston-coded FMC and a rich fruitcake MMC? Wasn’t 100% sold… UNTIL I started this. And lemme tell you, I did not want to put it down!!
Lyssa? Pissed me off MULTIPLE times. I wanted to reach into the pages and slap her (she’d knock my teeth out, but still 😅). But Alderic? Sweetheart. 10/10. Would protect him with my life.
This felt like a debut, which isn’t bad! But some parts were… unnecessary? Told and not felt? Like the setup about the place being "lawless" and Lyssa charging the rich more so she can do free jobs for those who need it? We hear about it… but never see it. And characters introduced early? Fell off a cliff.
BUT DESPITE ALL THAT? I had a blast. The plot twist was so obvious I guessed it by Chapter 5 (or maybe I just read too many books 😅), but I didn’t care! I was just here for a fantasy retelling! Nadia, Alderic, and Brandy? Loved them.
⚠️ BE WARNED: This is NOT A ROMANTASY. The relationship stays platonic! If you want spice, stay away. Go in with low expectation… and let this adventure surprise you.
