I really enjoy a well told tale, even one that is well known prior to the reading and the Cold King is no exception.  I found this book on a daily deal and got it for free so I went in not knowing if it would be good or bad.  And, for the most part it was excellent.  I did not find it dark, but rather that it had more colourful characters than some versions of the tale.  While I found one or two editing issues which can easily be overlooked the novel if first rate and very sweet.  It is a romance, a story whose ending the reader will know way before they get there simply due to familiarity with the story.  What makes it unique is the simly told but emotionally filled details.  The need for seperation of the past to fully go on with the future and finding happiness no matter your lot in life is the moral and the characters fill their roles perfectly.  I loved the twists and nuances that set the Cold King apart from other versions of Beauty and the Beast.  A quick and easy read, this story is lovely and gentle and a nice way to lose yourself in a familar childhood tale retold.
