Description
He was once an officer who commanded the king’s army, a war hero who led the War of the Roses to victory, and a knight and gentleman of noble status from Valdemaira. Until she blinded him. The man, who had become irritable and violent, secluded himself in a remote estate. And people called the place the Beast’s Mansion. Late at night, she knocked on the door of the mansion. * “Do you know who ruined my eyes?” “……” “It was a maid just like you.” His hand, which had grabbed her cheek, slid past her chin and grasped her neck. As the pressure on her windpipe increased, she coughed violently. “Do you know how she did it?” “……” “She poured poison into my eyes.” The weight pressing down on her was heavy. It was the weight of the sin she had committed. Even if she served by his side for the rest of her life, she would never atone for this karma. * “Meeting you was the greatest fortune of my life.” The man whispered. “Next time, the two of us will walk this path with our eyes open.” Next time… She mouthed the words silently, her lips moving without a sound. Would there be a next time for us?

My Thoughts on Time of the Blind Beast
"Time of the Blind Beast" plunges you headfirst into a world of simmering resentment, tragic circumstances, and a slow-burn romance that feels both inevitable and utterly improbable. The story centers around Ezekiel, a man blinded by unfortunate events, and Rose, a woman caught in a web of family secrets and societal expectations. It's a heady mix of adult themes, fantasy elements, and a distinct European atmosphere that kept me intrigued, even when the narrative felt a little heavy.
First Impressions
From the get-go, I was drawn in by the palpable tension between Ezekiel and Rose. Their initial interactions are fraught with pain, anger, and a deep-seated distrust that makes their journey towards understanding each other feel like climbing a mountain. Rose's situation, trapped by the actions of her family and her own naivete, immediately made me sympathetic towards her character. And Ezekiel's rage, born from his loss of sight and fueled by misunderstandings, is a powerful driving force in the early chapters.
What Works Well
The character growth, particularly for Rose, is a definite highlight. She starts off as a somewhat passive figure, but as the story progresses, she begins to find her strength and assert herself in the face of adversity. Ezekiel, too, undergoes a transformation, slowly shedding his bitterness as he confronts his own prejudices and begins to see Rose for who she truly is. The enemies-to-lovers trope is executed well here, with the animosity feeling genuine and the eventual connection feeling earned. The author also does a great job of building the world and creating a believable social hierarchy that impacts the characters' choices and limitations.
Areas of Concern
The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times. The story delves deeply into the characters' internal struggles, which is great for development, but sometimes it slows down the overall plot progression. Also, the "dishonest protagonist" tag is definitely accurate, and while it adds complexity, it can also be frustrating to watch characters make choices that seem self-destructive.
Final Verdict
Despite some pacing issues, "Time of the Blind Beast" is a compelling read that explores the complexities of love, revenge, and forgiveness. If you're a fan of adult fantasy with a strong emphasis on character development and a healthy dose of angst, this might be right up your alley. Just be prepared for a rollercoaster of emotions!
