Belle

*I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. *

The synopsis of this one caught me – Belle, hunting beasts? I was so down. This seemed like a very different type of retelling and since I don't have much experience reading comic retellings, I was excited to start this one.

I will say, that usually one of my biggest problems with comics is the pacing. While the pacing still bothered me, it isn't as bad as a lot of others I've read. We aren't skipping days and hours, but if I'm understanding the book correctly, just a few days passed. The thing is it is pretty much nonstop action with little to no down time to explain, so explanations are interrupted.
Yet, I don't think the story is really suffering from it. While I still have so, so many questions I was able to follow the story pretty well. Except for the villain's motivations. Once the villain was introduced, I didn't feel like their motivation or explanations truly made sense.

I do like Belle's personality and fighting ability. She is a fun MC to follow, although I wish the action scenes were better depicted since they could be hard to follow and many times Belle seems overpowered. Unfortunately, some of her actions make absolutely no sense, which hindered the storytelling.

So, I'm currently in between liking the story and not really caring about it. This is one I would recommend people who like re-tellings and comics or action-packed comics.
