Beauty and Beastly by Melanie Karsak

Beauty and Beastly by Melanie Karsak
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a great book! I've recently started reading fairytale retellings, and have really gotten into them. I thoroughly enjoyed Melanie Karsak's take on Beauty and the Beast! The steampunk aspect made it even more enchanting. I would never have guessed that I was going to love this as much as I did! The storyline is as captivating as the original fairytale and the detail in the castle and characters is phenomenal! Isabelle, a strong young woman who is very independent and a successful tinkerer already, has such a fantastical adventure after being shipwrecked on an isolated isle. I found myself swept away by her story!

In this tale as old as time, Isabelle Hawking must tinker a solution to a heartbreaking mystery.

When Isabelle Hawking and her papa set out from London on a sea voyage, Isabelle is thrilled. Visiting foreign courts, learning from master tinkerers, and studying mechanicals is her dream. And it doesn't hurt that the trip also offers Isabelle an escape from her overbearing and unwanted suitor, Gerard LeBoeuf.

But Isabelle never arrives. Swept up in a tempest, her ship is lost.

Isabelle survives the storm only to be shipwrecked on a seemingly deserted island. The magical place, dotted with standing stones, faerie mounds, and a crumbling castle, hints of an ancient past. Isabelle may be an unwilling guest, but her arrival marks a new beginning for the beastly residents of this forgotten land.

See how New York Times bestselling author Melanie Karsak puts a steampunk spin on the classic Beauty and the Beast fairy tale.
