Oh! I'd forgotten the bit about _Beauty_ that did annoy me: Beauty's
transformation. The Beast's restoration was both kind to all concerned
and a logical end to the curse. Her facelift was more random, or
perhaps "we can't end a fairy tale with plain people! Tranfigure her!"
Ironically, it might have made more sense in the frame of _Rose
Daughter_, where Beauty's destiny was tied up with the Beast to begin
with, if I recall correctly.
Shannon's point about the Beast's transformation being good for him, not
her, is a good one.
