Publisher's summary
It's pointless. Hopeless. Even if she weren't afraid of me, we'll always be enemies at the core....
In the city of Yuan, the blind Princess Isra is raised to be a human sacrifice. Her death will ensure her city's vitality. In the desert, a mutant beast named Gem fights to save his people, known as the Monstrous, from starvation. Neither dreams that together they can return balance to their worlds. When Gem is captured for trying to steal Yuan's enchanted roses, he becomes a prisoner of the city. Isra enlists his help and soon begins to care for him - and to question everything she has been brought up to believe.
She's a queen; I'm her prisoner. I am her monster and she is mine.

Little River, New York, 1994: April Sawicki is living in a motorless motorhome that her father won in a poker game. Failing out of school, picking up shifts at a local diner, she’s left fending for herself in a town where she’s never quite felt at home. When she “borrows” her neighbor’s car to perform at an open mic night, she realizes her life could be much bigger than where she came from. After a fight with her dad, April packs her stuff and leaves for good, setting off on a journey to find a life that’s all hers.

Once, there were four worlds, nestled like pages in a book, each pulsing with fantastical power and connected by a single city: London. Until the magic grew too fast and forced the worlds to seal the doors between them in a desperate gamble to protect their own. The few magicians who could still open the doors grew more rare as time passed and now, only three Antari are known in recent memory—Kell Maresh of Red London, Delilah Bard of Grey London, and Holland Vosijk, of White London.

Good ending!!
I loved this book. It's a very unique version of beauty and the beast that is entertaining from the first word to the last. It's also one of the few books that has an actual ending not an open ending that leaves room for a possible sequel. It is final and gives you closure. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good listen!

Really enjoyed the narration
The story was solid, interesting and the only reason I tried this one is because I enjoyed another book that had used Julia Whelan as the voice talent. Really pleasant to listen to. Just came across Stacey Jay, she has a nice way of building relationships and worlds and creating stories that wrap up in a book instead of long drawn out series and frustrating cliffhangers - those have their place - but it was nice to listen to one complete story in one book.

Beautiful world building
Beautiful world building. Addictive story about oppression, racism, and sheltered existence. The romantic sub plot lacked sufficient development, but it has some steamy moments non the less. I was captivated by the world, mythology, and political structure of the planet they inhabited. Maybe because I visualize Bo as the same Bo for Korra, but in the end I felt bad for him and was touched by his last moments of courage.

Amazing
Beautifully written. I felt everything. The narrator was phenomenal and I could hear and feel real emotion from the characters. Bravo

sci-fi fantasy
This was a cross genre epic fantasy sci fi audio book. I would not really call it a retelling of beauty and the beast, though there are some obvious similarities in the stories (and the title ;). It wasn't perfect, but pretty close to it. I loved the romance and the world building was lush in detail and altogether icky. I liked that even the 'bad' guys were complicated.

Loved this!
This was a wonderful story and had one of my favorite narrators. It was a safe bet that paid off.
Definitely worth the credit!

Great story.
Loved the take on Beauty and the Beast. Love to listen to Julia Whelan. I plan to look for more by this author and of course Julia.
