Beauty

3 Stars - I Liked This Book
This is one of those books that felt oddly familiar as I began reading it, and realized about halfway through that I had, indeed, read this book before. While not the most memorable fairy tale retelling out there, this progressive feminist story wraps several fairy tales together around our central character who is half Faery and half mortal. She is figuring out her curse and her role in these various stories, and finding out what her life is about, throughout this book. A bit long in the tooth, by the end of the book I was eager for it to be ending. It’s not a bad book by any means, just not a favorite.
