Beauty's Curse by C.S. Johnson
3.0
3.5 stars
Thank you to the author for providing me with a copy of this book via R&R Book Tours in exchange for my honest review.
For some reason I had it in my head that this was a Beauty and the Beast retelling. I have no clue where I got that from. This is actually a Sleeping beauty retelling. I thought this was a great start to a series and I look forward to continuing on with the next book.
At first I was a little confused as to what was going on. The first few chapters I was asking myself what was the point. Eventually though once things started getting revealed the more I was into it.
I equally liked Princess Aurora’s (Rose) character and found her annoying. She is not your typical princess. Rose is a warrior princess. She doesn’t just sit in the castle waiting for others to solve her problems. She does it on her on. She isn’t afraid to fight. But she is a 17 year old girl and I found her behavior to be annoying a few times. I get that she has a lot going on and she is determined to break the curse and I feel for her but that doesn’t give her the right to act like her problems are more important than others and it doesn’t give her the right to treat certain people the way she did.
To me this was fast paced with a little bit of action. This is the first book out of 4 and it only basically introduces us to the main story line and sets us up for what’s to come next. This does end with a cliffhanger so be aware of that. I am looking forward to seeing what is in store for these characters next.
