Later teenager years are the time period of main focus in the story. The prince is not an overly nice person, he is spoiled, rude, and demanding of people. Gaston is his only friend and does seem to try to help the prince consider how things will look to "commoners" if he does not act princely.
While this is fanfiction it is well done and Disney did agree to put their name on it. I am not sure if that is Disney making it cannon or not but the story fits with the Disney story. Nothing is odd or comes off as wow where did that come from.
It took around five years for the Beast Within to come out after Fairest of All and Ms Valento's writing has improved. Things did not just go in circles and the story constantly repeating. The characters had more depth and even the side characters felt better written.
Overall I did like Beast's story far more then the Evil Queen's story. However I prefer Beauty and the Beast to Snow White so that could be part of it.
Ursula is the next story and it has a long wait list from the library so guess I am taking a break from the Disney Villain's series for now.
*The beast is never referred to as Adam but I happen to know his real name.
