Beautiful by Juliet Marillier

4.0

I admit I bought this book, mostly because the main character shares my name. With my name that doesn't happen very often. I hadn't really read what it was about and was expecting a typical "princess with magical powers" story so I was pleasantly surprised when the main character turned out to be a troll and *SPOILER ALERT* does not end up with the prince. It's a story about a girl making mistakes, learning about the world as she struggles with her new role as a queen. And though I would have prefered the story to be a bit longer, perhaps meeting another of the clans, or finding out what happened to the prince, I must say I really enjoyed this book :)
