Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Jessica M.

Fairest is somewhat simialr to Snow White and yet, very different from the fairy tale. It is about a girl named Aza, who had always thought that she was ugly. Then, she comes along with a duchess to the royal wedding, and soon after, is a lady-in-waiting to the queen herself. Eventually, Queen Ivi grows jealous of Aza's unique and beautiful singing voice. While she is lady-in-waiting, Aza falls in love with Prince Ijori, who doesn't care if she is considered ugly. I liked this book because I could definitly relate to Aza. Like her, I thought I was ugly. But this book teaches us that if we're not exactly pretty, we have something pretty about us.
