Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book. I think that it is as good(or maybe even better than) Ella [...]. This book has everything that you could ever want in a classic-variant: loads of excitement, secrets, romance, and A LOT of twists and turns.
Fairest is about a young woman named Aza, who lives in Ayortha, a kingdom from the world of Ella Enchanted, that is known for wonderful singing. Aza is ugly. So ugly, that her real parents abandoned her at an inn, in a town called Amonta, where she is taken in by the inn keeper and his wife. The only pretty thing about Aza, is her singing voice. But to Aza, that doesn't make up for her looks. However, Aza discovers one unique thing that she can do with her voice. She can illuse, or make her voice sound like it's comming out of an inanimate object. One day, the duchess of Olixo stays at the inn. When she takes a liking to Aza, she invites her to the king's castle for the his wedding, and Aza accepts her offer. Aza didn't know how much her life was about to change. In the presence of royalty, Aza stands out even more than she did at home. When the newly crowned Queen Ivy (who has an awful voice)fist hears Aza illuse, she wants Aza to illuse for her. If Aza doesn't sing for her, then her family pays the price. Aza has to keep this a secret and serve as Ivy's lady-in-waiting; or she loses the money that her family desperately needs, she never sees Prince Ijori(a prince that loves her for herself and thinks that she IS beautiful)agian, and she could be......arrested. Will Aza do what's right and tell the truth? Will she let Ivy harm everyone that she loves? Will she sing for Ivy and risk being discovered? Will she lie to everyone she loves just to protect them? Will she risk her life just to be beautiful? Read this book to answer these questions and more.
I would reccomend this book to kids ages 11 and up. If you love Gail Carson Levine's other marvelous books, then you will certainly love this one. This book is a read that tells you that looks aren't everything, that someone out there loves you just the way you are.
Book Review: I always enjoy Levine!
Summary: 5 Stars
Levine never fails me, and I truly enjoyed Fairest. It didn't have the languages from Ella, but it had her spunk and style and I recommend it highly.
