Review: A Good Twist on a Classic
Rating: 3 out of 5

The traditional story of Beauty and the Beast with a hint of espionage. The plot is good, though a bit too cliche in the last chapters, considering the unique ideas presented earlier. The characters are entertaining, a good blend of fairytale inspiration and fresh traits. The writing, as others have said, is unpolished and somewhat sloppy - both technically, with typos and an occasional lack of proper punctuation (though not to the point of distraction, in my opinion), and artistically, in that words are wasted in places on unnecessary description when they could have been put to better use. EX: How the pet dog looks when it plays is not nearly as important as why witches and enchantresses seem to roam the land freely. Also, if someone fell through my roof, my first inquiry would be about what she was doing up there in the first place.
