Book Reviews of Fairest
Book Review: A Fairy Tale That Made Me Love Fairy Tales Again
Summary: 5 Stars
What makes a good fairy tale? A happy ending? A damsel in distress? A fair maiden winning her prince? Disney will tell you that a fairy tale needs all these qualities and more. People who have a sound sense of reality will say differently. Fairest captures everything right about a fairy tale. You are thrust into a middle of a world that is so completely different, you will want to go back again and again. While the people may act similar to us, you can tell they are alien. And for once, the animals do not talk! Anyone can enjoy this story. I dare you not to like it.
Summary of Fairest
Once upon a time, there was a girl who wanted to be pretty . . .
Aza's singing is the fairest in all the land, and the most unusual. She can "throw"t her voice so it seems to come from anywhere. But singing is only one of the two qualities prized in the Kingdom of Ayortha. Aza doesn't possess the other: beauty. Not even close. She's hidden in the shadows in her parents' inn, but when she becomes lady-in-waiting to the new queen, she has to step into the light—especially when the queen demands a dangerous favor. A magic mirror, a charming prince, a jealous queen, palace intrigue, and an injured king twine into a maze that Aza must penetrate to save herself and her beloved kingdom.
