Amarrah Brewer is desperate and grief-stricken. For ages, the town of Bitterburn has sent tribute to the Keep at the End of the World, but a harsh winter leaves them unable to pay the toll that keeps the Beast at bay. Amarrah volunteers to brave what no one has before - to end the threat or die trying. The Beast of Bitterburn has lost all hope. One way or another, Nja?l has been a prisoner for his entire life. Monstrous evil has left him trapped and lonely, and he believes that will never change. There is only darkness in his endless exile, never light. Never warmth. Until she arrives. It's a tale as old as time...where Beauty goes to confront the Beast and falls in love, instead. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I will say the confrontation with the villains is a little underwhelming in the end and the whole conflict/risk aspect of the plot is maybe a little underdone. There's mystery as to who/what the villains are, and then how/if they can be defeated, but the heroine's suddenly awakening magical abilities (which is explained by the plot, but definitely convenient) makes it all pretty easy in the end. I don't really view this as a big drawback - the building relationship and the backstory and everything else are all easily good enough to make up for it, and you can assume a happy ending is coming, being a fairy tale and a romance - but I might have liked a LITTLE more tension/danger/doubt when the actual confrontation happens, for a bigger emotional payoff when they do succeed.
Overall though, this has quickly become a favorite that I've reread several times in the months since I got it. ( )
