A review by justchelsea
Lie by Natalia Jaster

5.0

This book was a treat! I absolutely love fairytale retellings and I have never read a Pinocchio one. Such a clever idea! Natalia’s writing style is so unique, poetic at times, which really adds to the beauty of this magical world she has created. I love her commentary on societal differences between people, especially those with ailments of the mind. Nicu is an absolute gem, too pure for a world so cruel. I can’t wait to read his story next. While I missed Flare, I found Aspen to be just as lovable.
