Histoire4 out of 5 stars 12
I decided that Orion Lake needed to die after the second time he saved my life. Everyone loves Orion Lake. Everyone else, that is. Far as I’m concerned, he can keep his flashy combat magic to himself. I’m not joining his pack of adoring fans. I don’t need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts; I’m probably the most dangerous thing in the place. Just give me a chance and I’ll level mountains and kill untold millions, making myself the dark queen of the world.

Description
Bloomsbury presents A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer, read by Kate Handford, Davis Brooks and Matt Reeves.
A New York Times best seller!
In a lush, contemporary fantasy retelling of Beauty and the Beast, Brigid Kemmerer gives listeners another romance perfect for fans of Marissa Meyer.
Fall in love, break the curse.
It once seemed so easy to Prince Rhen, the heir to Emberfall. Cursed by a powerful enchantress to repeat the autumn of his 18th year over and over, he knew he could be saved if a girl fell for him. But that was before he learned that at the end of each autumn, he would turn into a vicious beast hell-bent on destruction. That was before he destroyed his castle, his family, and every last shred of hope.
Nothing has ever been easy for Harper. With her father long gone, her mother dying, and her brother barely holding their family together while constantly underestimating her because of her cerebral palsy, she learned to be tough enough to survive. But when she tries to save someone else on the streets of Washington, DC, she’s instead somehow sucked into Rhen’s cursed world.
Break the curse, save the kingdom.
A prince? A monster? A curse? Harper doesn’t know where she is or what to believe. But as she spends time with Rhen in this enchanted land, she begins to understand what’s at stake. And as Rhen realizes Harper is not just another girl to charm, his hope comes flooding back. But powerful forces are standing against Emberfall...and it will take more than a broken curse to save Harper, Rhen, and his people from utter ruin.

I felt nothing
I had a hard time feeling for the characters in any way. All of the characters would just randomly changed how they behaved without any warning or real understanding. The take on a classic tale was interesting, but that is all this book has to offer.

There is a major error
Some of the chapters under Monster at the end of the book are missing. All you hear is breathing and gasps. Please look into this problem.

Enjoyed
I really enjoyed this book. It was a total distraction and really occupied my stressed out mind during the PHE. It provided a mental vacation from reality. Much of the story was enjoyably predictable but the very end caught me off guard.

Universal. Unique. Unbelievable.
I know I’m late to the party, but I’m always hesitant to read a series until all the books are out. And this fabulous series is a classic example of why!
⚖️ Plot: I was hesitant to read another retelling of beauty and the beast, but I’m sooo happy I did. And that ending!!! I haven’t read such a good twist in an epilogue in such a long time!
🗺 World: With this starting out in DC and our time, it was easy to relate to. If there was one thing I wish there was more of was more surprise and shock when shifting to Emberfall. I was too seamless and unquestioned to be believable. This would also have been the perfect opportunity to elaborate on the details of the setting and the world.
💑 Characters: This is also probably the best budding triangle I‘ve ever read. Although Rhen was in the lead for most of the book for Harper, there’s just something untouchable about Grey. And I’m dashing over to the next book to find out what!

really annoying protagonist
I really couldn't simpatize with this main girl, she's kinda stupid and slow to catch things, besides even though she is not in her home/world anymore she keeps acting reckless and doesn't seems to think at what the things she do can bring as a result.

Not Beauty and the Beast...BETTER!
This book was fantastic. It starts quick and exciting however there are moments in the middle where I want more detailed emotion and interaction from Ren and Grey and Harper. That’s just me. This book is fabulous! The readers could have had a bit more emotion hence the 4 and not 5. Regardless love love love and on to A Heart So Fierce And Broken. Thank you Brigid

Boring one dimensional characters
*Spoilers ahead!*
This book started out promising but it quickly became tedious. The characters seemed to act in random, unpredictable ways, and because of this, the relationships were not interesting or engaging. The politics of Emberfell and its neighboring rival country were also boring, and too much time was spent discussing plans about the war between the two countries that never seemed to matter.
The whole thing is just so awkward. Why does Wren suddenly care about his people so much after 300+ seasons of isolation? Why does Harper never tell her brother to STFU and respect her decisions? How did Gray know how to kill Lilith in the end? Nothing really added up, and if you were hoping for a satisfying ending then you’ll be very disappointed.

Great story, predictable ending
This is a fairy tale retelling, so the plot isn’t anything new. It was an interesting retelling and I throughly enjoyed it. The writing style is very accessible. I love beauty and the beast retellings and this was that!

enjoyed listening
I wouldn't call this a page turner, and at times the pacing of the story was off, but I did enjoy listening to it. the author did a good job of putting enough of a twist on the classical Beauty and the Beast that I was not rolling my eyes at cliches. The female lead is a fighter and doesn't fall into the young adult mold of no personality. I had hoped that her having a disability would be a larger part of the story, but it did seem to be forgotten from time to time. I'll definitely give the sequel a listen down the line to see where the author takes the story.

Love at first read
I fell in love with this book so easily and fast.
The main characters are all driven and passionate, often by the same forces and other times by completely different needs. But at the end of the day, they do come together for the best of all.
The story was complex and it did not reach for any unnecessary drama, in a desperate need to keep the attention of the reader. I liked the balance of romance, action and friendship. All of the protagonists progressed during the book and I can’t wait to read the next installment.

I liked the book. The narrators are also good. The only cringy parts were when Rhen was a beast. Hhaha. But overall I enjoyed it!

Gelungene Moderne Umsetzung von Die Schöne und das Biest
Die Geschichte braucht ein paar Kapitel um sich zu entwickeln, aber dann ist sie sehr spannend und mitreißend. Die Charaktere sind mir auch sehr ans Herz gewachsen und ich bin sehr froh dass die weiteren Bände schon erhältlich sind :).
