I was quite disappointed by this book. It’s the second book of the Disney villains book series. And I really loves the first book so I had very high expectations when I started this book. But sadly it couldn’t live up to my expectations. The Charme of the first book was that you were able to see how the evil queen came to be. The story of the book fit perfect in the movie and the writing was fantastic. 
In the second book was still fantastic, but Serena Valentino a amazing author so this was not surprising. But what really bugged me was the fact, the the book didn’t fit together with the movie. The time frame was completely off (and the timing wann’t great in the movie to begin with). But that was the main thing that prevented me from enjoying the book as much as the first one. Than there was also the fact that the Storytelling deviates so much from the movie. For example in the movies the enchanted servants help the beast to win Belles heart they help him get ready and give him advice. But in the book they can’t even interact with the beast they freeze every time the beast looks at them. 
And last but not least, what bugged me about the book was that the beast was never the main villain of the beauty and the beast. In the movies the beast is a mix of a very angry damsel in distress and an anti-Hero. Gaston is the villain in beauty and the beast! That makes this book the only Disney villains book (with a movie character on the cover) that doesn’t focus on an actual villain. (I have to admit I don’t know about the new Hercules book because I never really watched the movie. But the rest I’m shire of).
