From the very first sentences, I was pulled into this intriguing world. The city they're in is named Orleans, though we don't know if that's an Orleans of the future or simply an alternate world with no ties to this one. But the location doesn't matter as we are transported into the carriage, seeing the crowds, feeling the intensity of this event.
The Belles are a group of girls, born with a magic that can transform the ordinary sameness that everyone is born with, into something beautiful. It is the one thing everyone wants. To be different and unique. To be something worth looking at. There are six, all sisters, and the event is an exhibition, showing off their skills for the Royal family to choose one Belle. This Belle will be the person who influences the idea of beauty throughout the kingdom.
At the last minute, Camellia pushes the boundaries of the rules by speaking with her subject. She has an assignment, a look she's supposed to create. But, an idea forms at the last minute. Something that will either destroy everything she's worked towards, or guarantee her spot at the top.
Such an amazing two chapters, I can't wait to read more!
