An interesting take on the fairytale of Beauty & the Beast, or at least I am assuming that is what this novella is inspired by.
It was of course very short. I'm not sure how much I liked it or not, but I can see where the vision for the story could have been great. It would have done well as a full length novel.
I enjoyed the magical system it included, as well as the girl's interaction with the beast.
