I was interested going into this book. I always get excited with fantasy. The characters were good, and I enjoyed the mystery, but I felt like it took a while to get fast paced. Which meant I was almost slaving through the first hundred or so pages. But I can't wait to see how this all ends.

In the kingdom of Orleans the belles, who have the power to make those around them beautiful, must work with caution in a dangerous court. Camellia finds herself in the center working closely with the royal family, getting everything that she has ever wished for. Is this truly what she wanted thought? Having to decided what is best not only for her safety, but the safety of Orleans.
What is the price for beauty? That's the biggest question this novel raises. Dhonielle Clayton creates a vivid world that is filled with beauty, pain, and revolution. This novel has me hooked wanting to read what else is going to happen with Camellia and her sisters! Young readers will be faced with questions of morality and ethics as they follow along in the dangerous world that Camellia has found herself in.

There was a lot that I enjoyed about this book. It has lots of beautiful description. I had no idea what direction the book was going and it took quite a while to adjust to the shifts in tone. It turned out to be much scarier and intense than I thought it was going to be, and just had a lot going on, so that I found it hard to track with it sometimes.
