The book itself does feel as if it ends right as it is about to get going on that same token. Maybe if a few plot points were trimmed or switched around, like the first beast or Belle’s father, things would’ve felt a little quicker. While the book does well at getting everything set up and established, it feels like it takes a little too long getting there. The story itself isn’t a bad one so far, but it has a few issues. This is what a first volume should be, even ending on a curious cliffhanger to keep you coming back. Everything gets off on the right foot, laying out the characters, premise, the aim of the series, some good mysteries, and even introducing the villain toward the end. She is determined to overcome her own fears and follow him to find out the truth. Things get complicated when she meets the guy himself and is pulled into his world. The premise isn’t bad: A young girl named Belle is after the Beast who took/maybe killed her mother when she was young. The first volume of Beauty and the Beast of Paradise Lost is a solid start. Finally emerging after years of solitude, Belle ventures back into the woods where she lost her mother and encounters the beast once more… The Breakdown Twisted by the loss of his wife, Belle’s father keeps his daughter, who has unusual, violet hair, locked away in an effort to “protect” her from prying eyes.
Young and rambunctious Belle insists on going out to play in the forbidden woods, but her adventurous streak abruptly ends when her mother is spirited away by a beast known to kidnap beautiful women.
