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. 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 best-selling author Melanie Karsak puts a steampunk spin on the classic Beauty and the Beast fairy tale.

From a clockwork beast to a fairy with an environmental agenda. The steampunk aesthetic of Beauty and Beastly goes deeper than just Disney's Belle in a corset. Though there are plenty of Disney call backs to make you want to watch the classic film again.
I always say a beauty and the beast retelling relies on the characterization of the Beast, and this one is no different, by making the curse punishment for environmental sins instead of social ones, Karsak makes her Beast truly sympathetic and in the readers eyes undeserving of what is truly a curse. Also Bonus points for giving him a name.
The performance of Lesley Parking was amazing and her English accent was a joy to listen to. Not only did she bring the first person narrator of Isabelle to life, she managed to give every other character their own distinctive voice. To the point that it sounds like a full cast audio drama not just an audiobook.
More than just pasted on gears.

Isabelle and her father are taking a boat to visit London when tragedy strikes and Isabelle finds herself stranded on an island. But something is weird here. There is a crumbling castle and the inhabitants are all mechanical. As a tinker herself, she finds herself intrigued and her life changes forever.
I listened to the audio book and truly enjoyed the narration. It added a lot to the story and the characters. The story itself is fascinating. The steampunkness of the characters being machines adds a scifi tilt that I appreciate more than the original idea of a beast. The idea of what is alive and what isn't is an interesting study in this story.
Overall, this makes me interested in the author's other works.
Fun Retelling
