It’s a tale as old as time, but can this retelling of “Beauty and the Beast” hold up for a modern audience? There is a lot to like about this book, but there are also some aspects of it that are… questionable to me. What say you? Give it a read, and let us know!

A story of love and–you guessed it–pride and prejudice, Jane Austen’s famous novel takes readers on a pleasant journey across serene country sides and deep into the ridiculous complexities and intrigues of high society. A gorgeously detailed romp through nineteenth century Britain, “Pride and Prejudice” is the perfect tale to sit with on a bright, sunny afternoon.

A novel that took me on a bit of a roller coaster ride when it comes to certain details. However, my overall opinion of the story remains positive due to its intricate world-building, diverse characters, and inspiring themes of family and unity.

A classic tale steeped in darkness, suspense, and the fragile nature of morality. Whether you already know the twist or not, Robert Louis Stevenson’s exploration into good and evil is definitely worth a look!

Whether you’re a fan of “Beauty and the Beast” retellings, medieval fantasies in general, or just snarky and loveable heroines who know how to simultaneously cause trouble and get people out of trouble, “A Curse So Dark and Lonely” is a modern retelling for a modern audience. While much of the story still showcases everything that was enjoyable about the original tale, it also manages to subvert expectations and keep readers turning the pages for more.
