I felt like there was something just not quite complete about the romance. It felt like there were scenes missing from the development of it. The pacing of the relationship was sort of all over the place, and in the middle the story dragged a bit. I'm not sure Yeva's character really went through as much development as she should have; she still felt like the same character at the end of the novel as she did at the beginning. There were also times when the novel matched up with the Disney film too much. It had some of the same scenes and while I can recognize the need for them character-wise, I'm still undecided on their inclusion. The prose was lovely and dreamy in a fairy-tale way with some really nice lines in places, though. Still, it's a fresh take on the Beauty and the Beast fairy tale, and that's not something I get to say a lot.
