그녀와 야수 1

3/5 star

MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD

Martina was an empress who managed to get revenge on everyone that had wronged her. Only to be betrayed by the one whom she loved and trusted. After hundreds of years, she is reincarnated as Astina, with all her memories intact. Due to her family's financial struggles and her background in swordsmanship, she takes the place of her sister after she is set to marry a Duke who is rumored to have been turned into a beast.

Right off the bat, I was pulled into the premise. As soon as we begin to read, we are given Martina's backstory, which gives us the reason why she is the way she is when she is reincarnated. We see the differences between her old life and her new one. She shows how she feels lonely in comparison with her previous life.

Overall, I would recommend it if you're looking for something different than the expected FL and ML reads. I may come back later to read the first season to see if it gives me the motivation to read the second. It's not a bad read, but when I'm tired of something, I'd rather read something that I've already read and am familiar with.
