This was a cute, short read. The audiobook is very nice and I enjoyed my time with it. I really liked what T. Kingfisher did with this Beauty and the Beast retelling. The characters had good chemistry, the story was interesting, and it had some creepiness to it that I thought was really nice. It kinda threw me off that he stays in his beast form by the end of it, but if you're one of the people who think Belle was disappointed when the beast turned back to human in the 1991 animated movie, (I mean, the face she makes is so funny in that moment), then this will feel canon and perfect to you.
