![]() ![]() ![]() I didn’t feel like I knew the prince at all! What’s more, Aza herself was so petty about her personal appearance, (until the end), that I didn’t get to like as well as I was probably intended to.īut despite those short comings, I did enjoy the book! I was disappointed by said short comings, and the lack of Snow-White-ness, but it held my attention. The character development of everyone except Aza was rushed, as was the romance part. ![]() The plot had great potential! But I don’t think the author spent quite enough time on the work. In the end of the book, she realizes that outward beauty is not what’s important, and that’s the moral of the story. Maid Aza, our heroine, is considered by others and even more so by herself, ugly. And the bad Queen Ivi is obsessed with being fairest. Pretty obviously, “Fairest” is her take on Snow White.īut it wasn’t anything like it! Okay, there’s a magic mirror. I know, that’s nothing new! But I think she does it well. I was so excited when I found this book at our county library, since I really liked the author’s “Ella Enchanted” and her collection of “Princess Tales.” In most, if not all of her books, Gail Carson Levine’s style is to take a well known fairy tale and build a slightly twisted but still recognizable story around it. ![]()
