I mea...I can't decide what to make of this one. I mean on one hand...<br /><br /> Beauty and the Beast. Deepest Desires and their power to change our destiny. - yes to what you said about fairytale retellings and finding the best B&B retelling. This one has also been marketed as Graceling meets B&B so it gets even extra bonus points. But at the same time... fairy tale retellings can be such a hit or miss.<br /><br />Assassin girl with sucky past. - Hello, Celaena Sardothien! Hello, Ismae! Hello, Nyx! But if she falls in love from the start, what next? The other books had a historical or fantastical world to build upon; will we find out more of the politics or will it fall back onto the PNR settings?<br /><br />Inevitable romance. Castles. - Swooning and great settings? Yessss. But I also read some weird reviews on GR that are suggesting -- for me at least -- that this might be marketed differently than I imagined.<br /><br />So: confuzzling.

Belle is by far the best Disney princess (she is pretty much the only one who doesn't experience insta-love AND she is a book nerd) and that cover is so pretty. I can't stop staring at the way the stairs intertwine with the rose petals. <br /><br />I hope you love this book! You certainly have the potential to do so.
