I found myself skimming a lot of this book. It was way, way too wordy, going on and on about things that didn't have any pertinence and that I didn't care about. For the first while I just read it all, but when I realized it was far from being an isolated phenomenon, I skimmed. Even parts that were important to pay attention to were so drawn out that I couldn't stand reading through them and ended up just skimming them twice to find out what happened.
I liked the story just fine, though. If it had been told more expediently I think I really could've liked it. It also would have helped if I had not read Beauty just a few months ago, because in some places she even uses the same lines, which is frustrating. The story of this one is better, but Beauty is better written, in my opinion.
