Beastkeeper

Starting the Beauty and the Beast section of my YA Fairy Tale Literature class with a quick read. I'm torn on this one; I like the general premise, and especially dig the last section, but on the flip side, the last section is definitely the most rushed.

This one reads more like a middle-grade novel to me than YA, but that's not a criticism, more an observation. I do think both types of readers could enjoy it, and overall I appreciate the subversion of traditional tropes associated with the BatB story. A solid 3/5.
