Beautiful and haunting fantasy-reworking of Beauty and the Beast.
This is the best book I've read all year, and I have read some truly mindblowing, amazing, masterful works of art this year. This is it. This is everything I ever wanted in a story forever and ever. This is what I want to write myself when I grow up. Nothing against any of the other wonderful authors and artists I've seen so far, or will see later in the year, this is just the pinnacle right here.
I simply and truly have no words. If you know that this is a Beauty and the Beast re-telling, that it's set in a fantasy kingdom with an encroaching malevolent Wood, and a politically-unstable dynasty, and an enmity with the neighboring human kingdom, you have everything you need to know to read it and be thrilled and swept away.
I can't wait to read it again!
