The Beast's Heart by Leife ShallcrossMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
If you're anything like me you won't be able to help comparing this to the Disney version of Beauty and the Beast.
First of all, the Beauty's name was changed. Instead of Belle, it's Isabeau. That took some getting used to.
There are no dancing candlesticks in this one. Instead, the Beast has "unseen servants". They don't really add anything to the story, unlike the singing teapot, they're just kind of there.
Isabeau has 2 sisters. The magic allows Beast to look into the lives of Isabeau's family. They're story is just as compelling, if not more so, than Beast and Isabeau's. I really enjoyed their character development.
There is no Gaston, nor anyone who could be considered close to a Gaston.
The prose was so beautiful. Beast is so eloquent, my heart ached along with his. A book hasn't made me feel this way in a long time.
