Cruel Beauty (Cruel Beauty)

by Rosamund Hodge

So, I didn't understand the intent of the book. Okay, it's a retale of Beauty and the Beast, but for what? It seems as though the author was trying to sell me a villain (because it seems to be a trend now) and forgot about absolutely everything else in this story.
Her writing style is really great, but I think is idiotic placed. Some descriptions - the important ones - were poorly and it filled the reads with stuff that weren't necessary.
The lead character, Nyx, was bloody confusing, and her actions weren't at all explained.
For me, it only worth for the last 30 pages.
I'm giving it, actually, 2.5 stars, just because the mythology is stunning.
