I loved this book. It was one of the first books I bought for my new Kindle and I thought I did rather well. I bought this one simply because I wanted to read a retelling of the Beauty and the Beast story. I got much more than I bargained for and loved every minute. It was one of those books that made me sad when I had finished it because I wanted it to keep going on. Loved the prince - what a great character and Beauty herself, is a very worthy and unusual heroine.It is funny and sad and a great commentary on our treatment of beauty queens. I liked the ending. It was totally unexpected but brilliant.The sorceress behind the scenes is a marvellous character.I absolutely love this author and I hope she writes many more of her quirky fairy tales because I certainly will be grabbing them.
