How, then, did an enchantment that strong take hold in a world with virtually no magic? Perhaps I am over thinking this, but in a book I think something like this should at least have an attempted explanation. While witches and things of that nature are mentioned in passing, there really is no magic except for this enchantment. The romance of an idea doesn’t make the idea make sense.įurthermore, the enchantment on the castle is rather ridiculous as well. It’s romantic, I could easily love a library like that but that doesn’t make it part of the world. It’s almost so ridiculous it’s laughable. While it’s good to dream about, it’s completely out of place. I get having a big, fantastic library and I get loving a big, fantastic library but how on earth did it get every book that has ever, and will ever be published in it? Is it a portal into the future and past? It’s never described. Of course Beauty, who is a scholar among other virtues, falls in love with the place. This epic library has every book that has and will ever be published. That’s fine, but it’s the library that kills me. There is no magic in the world save for this enchanted castle and the beast who resides in it with his invisible servants that move tables and chairs. The magic system in Beauty was completely out of place. Something that makes them click in the world the author places them in. They have some background, some description. Let me touch on the magic system, for a moment.
