Recommended if you like fantasy, romance & fairytales. This is one of the best retellings of Beauty & the Beast! (It also takes some inspiration from Rumpelstiltskin.)
It’s a creepy, unique & bewitching tale about a girl forced to wed the Demon Lord. It’s entertaining, clever & filled with enough magic to captivate. The heroine is delightfully fierce & feisty. And the Demon Lord, with his wonderfully wicked sense of humor, is so much more than he seems. *swoon* It’s main flaw is that the ending is kinda confusing.
Gilded Ashes: score 4, is not your typical Cinderella retelling! It’s a short novella (which also involves the demon lord) that is just as enchanting, eerie & full of the same mythology as Cruel Beauty.
