Ayortha is filled with ogres, gnomes, and fairies with unpleasant gifts. I loved all the little connections between the books. I think there need to be more books like this out there, especially now that the world is so concerned with outward appearances.Īnyway, this book is set in the same world as Ella Enchanted. One of the main themes of the book concerns how she comes to love her lack of beauty. She’s insecure, makes a fool out of herself, makes mistakes like any normal teen, and deals with self-image issues. I love how Aza isn’t portrayed as a stereotypical gorgeous, perfect girl. Unfortunately, the people of Ayortha highly value beauty-and Aza is anything but beautiful. Fairest tells the story of Aza, who was abandoned at birth and has the finest voice around. I’ve read several of her books and have greatly enjoyed every single one, this novel included. In this spellbinding tale filled with humor, adventure, romance, and song, Newbery Honor author Gail Carson Leine invites you to join Aza as she discovers how exquisite she truly is. Queen Ivi would do anything to remain the fairest in the land.
In Ontio Castle, merry Prince Ijori is drawn to it, and vain Queen Ivi wants to use it for her own ends. She keeps out of sight.īut in the land of singers, Aza has her own gift, one she’s come by without fairy intervention: a voice that can do almost anything, a voice that captivates all who hear it. In the Kingdom of Ayortha, Aza is most definitely not the fairest of them all. The gift is disastrous when it falls into the hands of Aza, who never looks in a mirror if she can help it. THis time it’s a mysterious magical mirror.
The Fairy Lucinda has once again given a dreadful gift. It was January 12th of the year of Thunder Songs. I was abandoned when I was a month old, left at the Featherbed Inn in the Ayorthaian villiage of Amonta. I have no one to tell me the truth of it.
