These books deal with some really interesting topics. It really went into the whole Beast side of the story, even putting some major spins on it.

This I one of the things that I love about this trilogy. In this version of the story, the Beast is far more animal than anything else, particularly in the first book.

She is selfless and curious, outspoken and caring. Bell, or Benella, in this story is still this smart, brave, independent young woman who loves books and her father, but in this story, she is also so much more. They put such a different spin on the story, but it still sticks to a lot of the general ideas and traits as the original story. They are so interesting I openly admit that Beauty and The Beast is my favorite Disney Princess story, so I am always on the lookout for amazing retelling of it and I honestly think that this is the best that I have found so far. And you can tell that originally Haag was writing this trilogy as a stand-alone book. They literally pick up straight after each other. That is the reason why I decided to review them as a whole as opposed to individual books. They are also the type of books that you just have to read back to back. This trilogy puts a really interesting spin on the story and I love them. There are a lot of adult topics in this trilogy including sex, violence and a whole other load of stuff. It is without a doubt an adult retelling.

If you don’t know about this one, it is a retelling of Beauty and The Beast. This series really does deserve more recognition. This was originally posted in Feb 2017! Not long after I had started reviewing books!) (also, please appreciate how much my reviewing style has changed and improved. Last week I reread the whole A Beastly Tale trilogy in a single day, I thought that I would do a repost review for it as I know that my opinion on them has changed. A few months ago I announced that since I am allowing myself to reread books more often, that when I do, I will be reposting my old review for the book and then giving a mini updated review as well, telling you how my opinion on it has changed upon rereading it.
