Author's Summary: An epic re-imagining of a classic fairy tale. A castle of forgotten souls...a Beast trapped in bitter purgatory...and an unexpected romance borne of one pivotal rose. COMPLETE as of May 4th 2012

Review: This fic is EPIC. Epic in length, epic in story. It's just plain fabulous. This is the best version for Beauty and the Beast that I've read. Period. I've read a lot of fanfiction but I think this is the first time where I read a slash pairing for a re-imagining of a classic fairytale.

I loved Brendan. I rooted for him, I laughed with/at him. Fairytales have somewhat brainwashed us, when I started reading this story.. I was waiting for Beauty to do the usual thing she does in all the retellings.. ask for a rose. But well, she didn't do that and that, my dears, is what makes this fic so unique. It starts on the usual path but it swerves and curves around as it becomes an incredible story. I can't rave about my love for it too much or you'll get spoiled. ;) Read it, you won't regret it. You'll fall in love with Brendan and Beast, Beauty, Catherine and Marguerite as I did. Kodora is a wonderful storyteller, as is shown in Brendan and the Beast.
