This is probably a beauty and the beast that has more plot and world-building than spice, which some retelling that I've read tends to focus more.

Anyway, I would say the writing pretty much did a good job. It was compelling for me and really gave the vibes of a dark-ish fairytale in some ways.

My only problem is that the story really didn't have much going after, like the last 70-ish %. Another thing is the details of the magic, which I think is more of a telling than showing? There's also parts that were unanswered for me, and everything just felt and resolved easily, which made it very anticlimactic.

I didn't have problems with the characters, I think they are really decent personality wise, but I just think there weren't enough quality that made them stand out.

The romance also felt short considering the fact that the novel is more of a world building. I kind of didn't feel the romance there.

Overall, I think this was okay. I think it could have been better.
