Beauty and the Beast, the Only One Who Didn't Run Away: A Wish Novel (Twice Upon a Time #3): A Wish Novel (3)

What i anticipated, nothing more
I read the first two books from this series when I was younger, falling in love with the idea of "fairytales with a twist". So I started following the author and that's where I heard of this book. I was excited to read this book because I remembered loving the series so fondly as a child, but after reading it I found thhe plot to be a little bit rushed. The beggining was very good and detailed but as the story progressed the plot became more rushed and the details started to disapear. Also what i noticed is how the encounter between Beauty and the Beast was such a small part of the book (They only know each other for the last 1/4 of the story). Also some questions were left unanswered which always ticks me off because when I finish a book that is not part of a series, I don't want any questions about WHY a certain person did that or thought that. However what I did enjoy was bringing in more main characters from the original fairytale so if you didn't enjoy the protaginists, you had someone to look forward to reading about.All in all i thought this book was very good for someone who is at a novice reading stage (aged 8-13) and if the author were to publish another one (which i doubt based on the dedication) i would most likely read it.

An Unexpected Journey
When I first read this book, I fell instantly in love with the story. I read it about four times now, and I still think it is the best. Only of you like fantasy-reality books, of course. The story takes place in medival times, following two totally different charactors; Beauty and Riley (Beast). The whole storyline is like that of Disney's Beauty and the Beast, but with other charactors and more sinister plots involved. If you don't understand what I mean, find out for your self in Wendy Mass' Twice Upon a Time # 3 : Beauty and the Beast.

Strange and wonderful.
This is not like any retelling of Beauty and the Beast I've ever read and I have read a lot of them. Beauty is twelve. The beast is thirteen. There two quests, a tale within a tale and a number of delightful characters, including one called Handsome. I enjoy everything Wendy Maas writes.. this was no exception.

Best book ever!
This book was the best ever! Every sentence kept making me want to read more and more until I finished the whole book! I loved all the suspense in the book and could almost never put it down. This book was interesting and a great fantasy. I even like this book best than the beauty and the beast Disney movie. I recommend this book to fantasy lovers and just people who want it find a good book. This is definitely my new favorite Wendy mass book!

Slightly confusing
3/4 of the book is beauty and beasts life BEFORE they meet. Beauty's part is unnecessary to me, but I LOVE beasts life!!! It is humorous, and AMAZING!!! I also love how Mass's books always connect somehow. Beauty's part is also confusing, but then again, it was midnight when I read this book :)

Great Book
I liked that Beauty's name didn't really fit her in the beginning but at the end it did. I also thought that it was cool that Veronica believed in other fairy tales especially because she said the other fairy tales she believed in were other stories in the series. I hope that there will be more books in the series and have the last one have all the characters meet each other and go on some kind of adventure.
