My Review

I wasn't sure what to expect when I started this book. The set up seems very much like it is aiming at a Beauty and the Beast tale, but a few chapters in you get a sense that this should (and without spoiling too much, does) take it in a different direction, which I liked.
There is a great sense of atmosphere to this book's writing, but it is a complete fast moving tale ... there are a lot of POVs for what is not a long book, and if I had one complaint it's that it could've spent a little more time in the middle developing the key relationships instead of just giving us the highlights--and as an impatient reader it is rare for me to go, "Oh, I wish that had taken longer." You're definitely given enough to understand all the characters involved, but it could've probably stretched the middle out for longer, especially considering how much page time was given to the actual climactic battle (though another reader quirk of mine is that I'd much rather read a conversation than a battle any day, so that's probably very much a personal taste thing.).
