You won’t find a more charming Beauty and the Beast retelling that CURSES. Dripping with charm, humor, and enough swoon worthy moments to keep you flipping the pages at a rabid pace, this novel is as much a BatB retelling as it is its own fairy tale in its own right. It takes just enough from the classic story to make some of the rules and some of the character beats instantly recognizable while also being perfect foundations for new narrative twists and character quirks. The cast of characters is a colorful and inclusive one, a ragtag group of friends that you won’t be able to help but want to spend time with. And while the world introduces the ideas of a fairy/human/creature hierarchy, it only does so enough to introduce the idea of curses rather than bogging the story down with unnecessary rules and physics. But the true gems of this story are the main couple. Merit is an incredibly intelligent and compassionate young woman, and Tevin is a charming young man with a conscience that betrays his upbringing and forced career. They make for a fascinating pair, and I wish we had more time with them, both as friends as well as complicated friends and loves.
