Now all that aside, let's jump into my review!Īs far as retellings go, this one was incredibly unique to me. There is also a content warning here for rape, which you might be able to guess is coming, but also feels sort of out nowhere, so do be aware of that (more information at the end of this review). After finishing the book, I went to Goodreads and noticed a lot of DNFs for this book and I just want to say that this is a book in which the ending/reveals are crucial to understanding the events prior to that, so DNF-ing too early will not give a good impression of what this book is really about. Personally, I love it, so I already knew that if people disliked Beast for the writing style that that would be fine with me. Back when I read Alias Hook, I discovered that Jensen's writing style was very unique, somewhat dense due to her descriptions, and fairly divisive. In the end, however, I very much enjoyed this book and was also so pleased where the story ended, as it felt incredibly satisfying on all points and caused me to just back and think about what a gorgeous and well-told tale this was.īefore I get into the real bulk of this review, I just want to note that this book is not going to be for everyone. I can safely say that Beast is entirely unpredictable at almost all parts of the story, and I truly did not know at the end whether I would fully love or hate this book. This was such a roller coaster for me and had me constantly changing my mind and guessing where things would go next.
