Status Updates From Echo North (Echo North, #1)

Love that things are starting to unravel and yet piece together at the same time. This part feels original and has actually started to pull me in, which makes the first part seem slightly disappointing when you realise there is a very good story building here that could have started much better. Not that I haven't enjoyed it but the beauty and the beast rip off was just too strong.

At last there is some straying from Beauty and the Beast! It was a bit much - the magic mirror, the forbidden room with his trinket of enchantment, Belle's (Echo's) escape only to be saved by the beast (the wolf). Now I just have simple quibbles like continuity. The wolf first says her name at about page 65, he says it multiple times in fact, before page 104, when Echo "realises he's never said [her] name"...

You can tell someone really liked Beauty and the Beast growing up. This doesn't feel original in any way ATM, but I can't say I'm not enjoying it either.
