pickLow pick. A Beauty and the Beast novella retelling with an m/m pairing. It's well-thought and sweet and largely my jam, but too dang truncated. I'd have enjoyed it much more as a fully fledged novel, with better rounded secondary characters that do more than trot on to the page, speak a scene, and trot off.
esurient The handling of the climax was bizarrely cold. 'We love each other, we've broken the time-spell, welcome to WWII, go fight on the front lines! The end.' (edited) 3y
esurient Also, I'm somewhat miffed this was only available as a download through Amazon. 3y
esurient The author had written an epilogue to this one, but cut it before publication. It's available on her website: https://asterglenngray.wordpress.com/briarley-epilogue 3y
