Beschreibung

Afflicted by a centuries-old curse, a warlord slowly surrenders his humanity and descends toward madness. Ballard of Ketach Tor holds no hope of escaping his fate until his son returns home one day, accompanied by a woman of incomparable beauty. His family believes her arrival may herald Ballard’s salvation. ...until they confront her elder sister. Determined to rescue her sibling from ruin, Louvaen Duenda pursues her to a decrepit castle and discovers a household imprisoned in time. Dark magic, threatening sorcerers, and a malevolent climbing rose with a thirst for blood won’t deter her, but a proud man disfigured by an undying hatred might. Louvaen must decide if loving him will ultimately save him or destroy him. A tale of vengeance and devotion.

'Entreat Me' is basically the story of Beauty and the Beast. It follows two sisters with an empoverished merchant father, who, both for their own reasons, venture to an enchanted fortress ruin. There are some new twists to the old story, not too much to diverge but enough to keep you interested. I definitely remember thinking 'oh, I can really picture that' - the language is nice and clear. I also really enjoyed Louvaen's - the protagonist's - character. She doesn't sugarcoat anything and she's quite fierce, reminding me a little of Alexia from The Parasol Protectorate, one of my favorite heroines. What left me confused however was the final solution. I really didn't find the curse breaking part either convincing or logical which left me a little disappointed from that long-awaited climax. Also, in the second half, there was partially maybe a little much 'I want to pounce you as soon as I see you' instead of a deeper relationship development. Still, it was an enjoyable read :) give it a go if you like retellings.
