Title: A Cruel Beauty
Author: Rosamund Hodge
Series: no
Chapters: 26
Pages: 273
Genre: fairy tales retold
Rating: 4 stars
Cruel Beauty is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast that combines
pieces from all the versions of Beauty
and Beast, including the Disney version at least in my opinion. As well as
a few Greek myths and tells of assians. It is a fairy tale retold that has just
about everything in it.
Fans of Beauty and the Beast
will enjoy this. At first I didn’t think that I would like it, because it
wasn’t something that I would normally read. But I when I read the line on the
cover: her mission was to kill him her density was to love him. I was hooked. I
wanted to read it by the third chapter I was even more hooked. To me it was one
of the best Beauty and the Beast
retellings that I have read in a while.
There were a few scenes that were on the edge but it never went
into details and the two characters it involved were married. I would say that
it is for older teens. But other than I can’t think of anything to keep me from
recommending it.
