About this deal

The Beauty and the Beast elements are certainly there but I love how Cassie still made her version very much her own. There’s a give and take to their powers, and years of study that go behind what they’re capable to do. Bend Her is a darker take on the classic Beauty and the Beast story, with a lot more spice and monsters than the original!

It’s pitched as a dark Beauty and the Beast retelling, and it is, but it also reminds me so much of Howl’s Moving Castle. On the eve of their Ascension, every mage is granted a single clear vision just before they receive the mage-mark brand. I think the author was going for maybe the idea that she is consenting but reluctant, but absolutely did not accomplish this. I never really knew what that was until I started this book, it makes me gag thinking about how good it is! The author had been posting prints on Instagram of the characters and I really thought it was going to be deliciously steamy, so I was a little disappointed.

I thoroughly enjoyed the two narrators for Lisane and Rhaim, they did an incredible job bringing the story to life. Per quanto riguarda la parte romance c’è del potenziale, ma credo che alcuni passaggi nell'evoluzione del rapporto tra i due siano avvenuti troppo velocemente. Also, what would be the fantasy novel without some weird creature in the form of the little Lisane's helper Finx ( who is in fact half cat- half spider and is beyond adorable). There was a bathroom scene, though, that was delicious, and I am patiently awaiting to read more about a certain cheeky piercing.

Bend Her” is a spicy, dark and tantalizing Beauty and the Beast retell that pulled me in from the start and is a delicious dark retelling treat.The heart of the story is undoubtedly the relationship between Lisane and Rhaim, but the author wove an impeccable plot around it, which stands out completely from other Beauty and the Beast retellings I’ve read.

I was reading this whilst reading another series and this one pulled me in so hard I put the other on hold to finish and now I am SEETHING until I can purchase the next in the series! The slow burn between the main characters which I know is building for some SPICE to come in the next books! Seeing as Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite fairy tales ever, I’m always excited to find new retellings and I was over the moon when I had the opportunity to read an eARC of this.

And so, when a group of soldiers brought a bound and drugged woman to my doorstep, to bribe me to fight in their war, and pulled the bag off of her head and I saw her there-the woman from the vision at my Ascension, and who has haunted my dreams ever since-I knew it was the beginning of my end. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. While this book was quick and fantasical, I did not find it to be convincing enough to be consider good. Lisiane is a proud female and her pride is at stakes when she agreeds to let Rhaim master and control her body in exchange of being trained into becoming a mage. I had lived through centuries of violence, and no other creature had come quite so close to stopping my heart.Victoria’s portrayal of the sheltered princess betrayed by her family and then punished and humiliated by the All-Beast was incredible. Bend Her è un libro interessanti sotto molti punti di vista, ma mi sarebbe piaciuto un approfondimento maggiore su alcune parti del racconto. Bend Her: A Dark Beauty and the Beast Fantasy Romance is a story about Rhaim the All-Beast, a cruel beast mage doomed to die at the hands of the woman he must protect at all costs, and Lisane, the sheltered Princess of Tears, who has been given into his care and who needs him to teach her magic so she can be free—no matter how much it might hurt her.
