Fairest

"10/10 🌟 Took me years actually pick it up but once I did, I loved it! One of my favorite books! It has magic, learning about self-worth, and kindness! Would read it again! #magic #fairy_tales_and_folklore "

"Ugh this book is a masterpiece. While I know little of cozy fantasy I feel like its based on the readers vibes, and holy crap this screams cozy fantasy to me. This is my - well I don't know how many times I've read this since I was old enough to read, but. Lots. I will say I forgot how <i> brutal </i> this book could be and it was almost shocking considering I hadn't read it in so long!<br/><br/>It's my comfort book, and apparently one I can read in just a few hours despite it being a little over 300 pages. I decided to reread it because I wanted to write an actual review for it, but I don't think I have much to say really. It's just so wonderful, and rereading it as a full adult human woman, there's an extra layer there that somehow made me connect even deeper than I had as child and preteen. Unless something weird happens, I'm pretty sure this will remain my favorite book of all time, ever.<br/><br/>Update: 1pm on 12/8/2022 - I already want to reread... maybe I'll do a little gail carson levine reading marathon next week after finals..."

"I read this book in a day. It was sweet and it was bitter. The main character's desire for beauty was so familiar. This was a very interesting twist on the Snow White story."

"Aza may make bad decisions but at least she's an interesting character. And she is super obsessed with her appearance, but I can forgive her for simply being young. The book does make a pretty good point about pretty privilege though. I'd say it was ahead of its time. <br/><br/>Also, I was terrified that they were going to pull a twisty twist and make Aza fall in love with the gnome and thank GOD they didn't because I was not going to be on board. I did feel like her and the gnome's relationship was somewhat unresolved though - it just felt like a very loose end.<br/><br/>Also, correct me if I am wrong, Internet, but wasn't Ivi 19 and the king 40? We simply cannot sell that as love. We could have changed it to like 25 and 35 at least. I'm just. Not on board for it having been truly love."

"Great story and a tear jerker"

"It was so well written with the singing and the magic and the plot twists were innumerable!"

"Isn’t it such a great book? There’s many that I love; but I would recommend The Princesses of Westfallin series if you like this book 💚 it is a bit more action packed but they are excellent! Also The Enchanted Forest Chronicles! ✨"

"I enjoyed Fairest. It was a quick read and was filled with such a different back drop than Ella Enchanted is. It's amazing how the same universe can have such a differing concept. The musical aspect is enlightening."

"a completely new take on the classic fairy tale, Fairest was very successful in winning my heart."
