I don't often like reading a story from a male viewpoint, but in this this story it was okay. The worldbuilding and pacing was good, and the characters were interesting.

I thought it to be a good story, but not one I'd bother to read again. Overall, an enjoyable "good, clean fun" novel.

A great take on Beauty and The Beast. I really enjoyed it and would love for my daughter to read this.

Throughout the book, George struggles with having animal magic, and eventually finds a solution for all.
Meanwhile, when George is an adult, he must marry Princess Beatrice of Sarrey, to unify the ... Read More
