The Belles was brilliant! It was an intensely thought provoking story about beauty and morality and the importance of diversity and loving yourself. It was absolutely breathtaking!
I finished this gem in one sitting! I loved it! I loved the gorgeous writing. I loved the history behind the world and The Belles. I loved the messages portrayed in the story, and I LOVED Camellia!
Camellia made the book! She was strong, brave, and kind at heart. She took on a powerful journey of self discovery, and she represented inner beauty and fierceness all the while! She was a breath of fresh air in a world obsessed with outer beauty.
The Belles held such an important message about learning to love yourself and to think of yourself as beautiful no matter what. It really highlighted issues that have always been around regarding the pressure we put on ourselves, and others, to feel beautiful. It highlighted issues of racism and prejudice and the little green monster called jealousy. It was incredibly powerful!
I really loved everything about this one! The writing was beautiful. The setting was so vividly colorful, and the atmosphere was intense. The idea of the arcana and The Belles and their origins was genius, and the depth of the characters and messages behind the story was emotional! The Belles was deep, dark, and delicious! 4.5 stars!
