Wonderful take on the price of beauty
i LOVED this book so much! we are introduced to the "Belles" a group of very special girls who are seemingly blessed by the gods with beauty and the ability to alter other's looks to make them beautiful as well.
This book takes you o the adventure from the choosing of a new royal belle who will be in the castle and setting beauty standards for the year and shows what happens when the princess is obsessed with a little more than just beauty. The story takes you through the actual price of beauty, each magical procedure has a cost, and what happens if you are not able to keep up with the monthly regiment. It discusses where these Belles actually came from and what gives them the right to decide beauty and change what everyone around them looks like.
The only thing I did not like about this book is that it ends on a HUGE cliffhanger and I had to wait a few day until I could grab the sequel! very well written story and thought out world.
