CROWN OF BRIARS BY R.L PEREZ (ARC REVIEW)

 

★★★★.5

CROWN OF BRIARS BY R.L. PEREZ

Thank you Willow Haven Press and Netgalley for the ARC!

I love a Beauty and the Beast retelling more than anyone and wow this one really captivated me! The different worlds, the characters, the curse really brought this all together. I think the concept was amazing and I enjoyed this so much I breezed through it!

The development between Sybelle and Varius was amazing to read, they were such headstrong and confident characters, it was wonderful seeing them come together! I also loved the strength of the heroine (there were times where she annoyed me), but she was a really complex character with powers and strength that meant she didn't back down.

The whole concept of the arranged marriage (yes love that trope) and the figuring out of the curse was so entertaining! Also there's a dragon! 

I see there's another standalone book in this world which is a Sleeping Beauty retelling (another favourite of mine) so now I need to read that for sure!

Definitely check this book out if you're look for a Beauty in the Beast romantasy that you won't be able to put down! Out on August 4th!
