Reviewing "Of Beast and Beauty"

I gotta give this book five stars! It was very well written and took all the aspects that I loved so much from Disney's beauty and the beast and gave them a whole new look, edge, and rules. The world Stacey Jay created was very interesting to read about, starting with the spirit of the planet/ God i guess you could call it...
Then comes the introduction of the princess with her tragic history which draws you in, but not more so then the fact that she takes on the work, scaling rooftops like a cat, fearless... and did i mention blind. Yeah... SHE'S BLIND.
Stacey Jay did a wonderful job creating this character, and giving her this strength despite her condition, while at the same time leaving her vulnerable enough for the hero of the story, "THE BEAST" to come to her defense... even though the beginning of their relationship is what you would call... rocky... they do eventually build a friendship that leads into... well you should read it.
It was nice to see a story that isn't just straight up, "Oh my God, I love you more then anything!" "I love you too, You're sooo beautiful!" This story has a lot of building to be done between these characters before they can love each other. Hell, they have to stop hating each other first. This story has many levels that connect with different story lovers. Adventure, suspense, romance, and many many aspects you hope to find in an epic tale.

Of Beast and Beauty is worth the read for sure! I recommend it to all who need a good heart thumping tale to read through.
