I honestly did not expect to enjoy this book as much as I am. Its a brilliantly written historical fantasy about Silence, born a girl and raised a boy. It’s funny, adventurous and in some parts really quite sad… I think it’s going to take me a while to get my thoughts together for a review.

This book was SO much more than I expected it to be. I clearly didn’t read the synopsis properly because I didn’t realise it was based in a modern setting, but that added to the overall eeriness of the book & I was just swept away. You can read my full review here.

Ok. So this is quite different from my usual reads, and though I haven’t read any of the other books in this series, this Beauty and the Beast re-telling was just too good to pass up. I have a feeling it will be a light and fun read and I’m looking forward to branching out.
