![]() Though the pre-Beast Prince certainly deserves his curse, whether any actual human being could contain the degree of vanity, selfishness and conceit the Prince exhibits is questionable. As a human prince, the Beast spurns the love of Circe, who turn out to be the younger sister of the “odd sisters,” witches whose behavior is so nonsensical it’s a wonder they stop cackling long enough to curse him. The timeline then moves backward to the days when the Beast was a human prince, and so begins a story that is predictable-when it isn’t entirely ridiculous-and filled with characters as flat as the pages they’re written on. The story opens as the Beast contemplates whether Belle-recently made a prisoner in his castle-will ever come to love him. A retelling of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, told from the Beast’s perspective. ![]()
