 “I will call you Beauty, for that is what you are.” 
I've read this book once before, and I remembered the story as something nice, something that suits the autumn vibe.
Well, I remembered it wrong. The story is so much more than nice. It's emotional, I loved the symbolism, and even though I remembered some plot twists, and I know Beauty and the Beast, I was still surprised by the ending. I enjoyed the writing, and of course, the wintery, foresty theme, but those were more like nice details, I was excited to read the next chapter because of the story, and because there was always something I didn't expect. 
And I have to admit, the author's note and the dedication made me cry.

“No one really wishes to be a queen.” 
I've read this book so many times now, another reread felt like coming home <3 And with every reread, I love the sisters, the world, the twists and turns and the vibes a bit more
