Rumors have long swirled about the strange kingdom of Eldon. The only thing more frozen than its mountains are the inhabitants themselves. But Princess Celine has never backed away from a challenge, so she eagerly accepts an invitation to visit. Yet the situation in Eldon is even worse than Celine feared. And if the kingdom is to have any hope of freedom or a future, she's going to have to call on new skills and new allies - including the crown prince, Oliver. But against an enemy stronger and colder than ice, all her fire may not be enough.

Princess Adelaide has been missing for years. And that's exactly the way she wants it. Haunted by her past, not even the curse that entraps her is enough to make her long for her old home. But her past finds her anyway, in the form of a handsome prince from her childhood. Adelaide doesn't want to let Gabe in, but a sinister force is spreading fear throughout her new kingdom, and only Gabe has the will to help her. Adelaide can't refuse his assistance - not when the evil might soon ensnare much more than a solitary princess.

Even the Spoken Mage has limits to the power of her voice. Elena may be the only Spoken Mage in history, but she struggles with limitations. Unable to stockpile written workings as her mageborn year mates do, she runs the constant risk of burning out. But when the armed forces draw the third years to the front lines of their war, Elena's strength and flexibility may be necessary to keep them all alive. As Elena wrestles with how much she will sacrifice for the war, Lucas must decide how much he's willing to sacrifice for her.

In her fourth year at the Academy, Elena should be focusing on final exams and graduation. Instead, she has no choice but to stop a decades-long war - at least, if she wants any future with Lucas. But it's hard to stop a war when you're nowhere near the front lines. And an unexpected invitation - one she can't refuse - only complicates the matter further.

Wonderful retelling of Beauty and the Beast!
(4.5 stars) A wonderful retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Quite unique whilst still following the basic storyline.
Fine as a stand-alone, but probably more ideal if you read the book preceding it.
Narrator is excellent! She does the most marvelous job of including humor in her voice. I really liked all of the voices except, ironically, the Beast’s. That said, I can see why she voiced him the way she did...

Exceptional story and enjoyable audiobook
Fantastic retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Love the storyline and stayed up much later than I should have. I liked everything about the audio except for the way the reader performed the Beast's voice. He sounded like a grumpy old woman. I would have preferred a simple normal voice for him. Otherwise the reader sounded great and spoke the words as I would have read them.

I really enjoyed this tale. The story of Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorites. The narration as clear and always audible although I did not like the approximated male voices. Sorry not appealing at all. Beautiful story. Thank you.

Classic Fairy-Tale Fun
I was so excited to snatch up this audiobook after finishing the first book in the series, A Dance of Silver and Shadow. And A Tale of Beauty and Beast was another enjoyable listen overall! I like Sophie's character and the unique personalities of the secondary characters she encounters on her quest. I confess the story didn't feel quite as original as the first book; it has a lot of the classic elements of the Beauty and the Beast fairy tale and doesn't change it up as much as I might like, especially with the enchanted castle setting. And while I love how the narrator portrays most of the characters (her voice is generally quite pleasant to listen to, and she has some great accents!), I don't think her portrayal of Prince Dominic's deep voice worked for me. It felt a bit...much. However, I'm still a fan of this author and narrator, and I'd love to see more books in this series or the previous one turned into audiobooks! (Also, the ending of this story was definitely exciting, and I was happy with the conclusion!)

Reader was ok
The reader is excellent as the narrator and for the female voices, however, her male voices for this entire series are not very good. They make me not enjoy the male characters as much as I would have if they had been given a better voice. The story is excellent—a very fun listen.

Enjoyable Story
I didn't like this one quite as much as the first one, but it is still a fun story and a great Beauty and the Beast retelling. The narrator does just as good a job on this one as the first one, and I really hope that this author someday turns more of her books into audiobooks! I, at least, would buy all of them!
