This was an interesting Beauty and the Beast retelling set in medieval Russia that also had other folklore elements in it. I really enjoyed Yeeva as a character. She was very independent... sort of a Katniss Everdeen type. After her father disappears, she provides for her family, and goes in search of him, but as we all know from the fairy tale, is taken captive in the Beast's castle. Beauty and the Beast retelling. When her father doesn’t return from a hunting trip, Yeva sets off into the forest to search for him, and encounters instead the Beast her father had been raving about. Taken captive for an unknown purpose, Yeva finds the lines blurring between animal and human, hunter and hunted, fairy tale and reality. A captivating retelling! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: New York Times bestselling author Meagan Spooner spins a thoroughly thrilling Beauty and the Beast story for the modern age, expertly woven with spellbinding romance, intrigue, and suspense that readers won't soon be able to forget. Beauty knows the Beast's forest in her bonesâ??and in her blood. After all, her father is the only hunter who's ever come close to discovering its secrets. So when her father loses his fortune and moves Yeva and her sisters out of their comfortable home among the aristocracy and back to the outskirts of town, Yeva is secretly relieved. Out in the wilderness, there's no pressure to make idle chatter with vapid baronessas...or to submit to marrying a wealthy gentleman. But Yeva's father's misfortune may have cost him his mind, and when he goes missing in the woods, Yeva sets her sights on one prey: the creature he'd been obsessively tracking just before his disappearance. The Beast. Deaf to her sisters' protests, Yeva hunts this strange creature back into his own territoryâ??a cursed valley, a ruined castle, and a world of magical creatures that Yeva's only heard about in fairy tales. A world that can bring her ruin, or salvation. Who will survive: the Beauty, or the Beast Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I truly enjoyed this book. Making Yeva a hunter and capable in her own right. Having a mix of previous versions of the story, and a believable progression in the relationship between the two. So good.
My only gripe is that I wanted a little more from the ending, as in how things turn out. Also I'd liked a bit more of the father's downward spiral at the beginning of the book, but those are minor complaints.
