Written by Stacey Jay
Of Beast and Beauty retells the classic tale of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ with a few twists and changes. It’s still a fantasy setting, but it is so much more interesting.
Stacey Jay does an awesome job in setting up the background to the story. She has a vivid way of describing the characters as well as the world they inhabit. It transports you to that very place and is easy to get lost in.
The main characters make you wonder who is the ‘Beauty’ and who is the ‘Beast’.
It was wonderfully written and very engaging.
