Book Description:
Vynasha has
spent the last four years tending her mother's roses and looking after her
nephew. The fire that killed their family has left her scarred and put Wyll on
the brink of death. Soon the first frost will come down from the mountains and
she knows this winter will be his last.
Until a
strange beggar appears on the road, telling her of the majikal Source that can
heal her Wyll. With nothing left to lose, Vynasha braves the forbidden Wylder
Mountains to seek out a cure and her fate.
A lost kingdom
is uncovered by an equally lost girl, but the castle is not abandoned as she
believes. Shadows cloaking unseen eyes watch. Tapestries whisper from the
hidden corners, wondering if the one to break their curse has come. And a
hungry beast waits, ready to devour her soul.

My Take:
Growing up
Beauty and the Beast was always one of my favorite fairy tales. It didn't matter
which way the story when or how I got my fix, all that mattered was that I
could be a story about a love that transcends the physical. I always found it
so mystifying and unreal that there was a love so true that someone could fall
in love with a beast. With that said, it's no wonder I was so excited to get
the opportunity to read this story which is a sort of retelling of that classic.
This isn't
your typical Beauty and the Beast, there is definitely a lot more going on and
so much that you can't even fathom. I found myself needing to turn the page,
meeting to discover the mysteries hidden within the words. Unfortunately, what
never occurred to me was that this might possibly end on a cliffhanger. Lucky
for me it was not the kind of person that makes you want to rip out your hair,
but I am really impatient and I do need to get my hands on volume 2 of The Wylder
Tales.
While reading
this book I did have plenty of speculations and well some of them hands out the
lot of them didn't this book will literally keep you on your toes.

Quills
Whatever you
think you know, forget it, you are probably wrong. As I said earlier, there is
so much going on within the pages of this book you won't know what to expect
but that is what makes this book so utterly amazing. It was so different. It
took a classic fairy tale one that I absolutely adore and made it something
more. It made it something new.
