A review by empathephant
Fairest by Marissa Meyer

challenging dark sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.0

This books was interesting but like 60 million times as dark as the others. Really it was too dark for me. You knew everything that happens was coming which made me able to brace myself a little more but Eve was just so vile and despicable.
