The movie would be good if you didn't read the book. I am a fan of Damsel. The book was written beautifully, but the movie strayed far away from what was described in the book. In the movie, they never show the tale of sacrificing three daughters. Victoria was a princess that started the tradition. At the end, Elodie ruled the kingdom of Aurea. She made the prince and his mother abdicated. In the movie, the dragon burned them at the end and Elodie returned home. I was disappointed because I love the book. I love every details written in there. I wish the movie would stick to the book, and it would be so much better.
