but I’d be wrong because there is so much more to this book than that. It is indeed about fairies and enchantments and beauty, but it is also about the environment and the nature of man and fate. And about true love and marriage and wondering. About motherhood and growing up and growing old. About pride, vengeance, rage, despair and hope. And, finally, about foolishness and wisdom. A wonderful contribution to our world. Thank you, Ms Tepper.

This was the first Fantasy novel I ever read, and still remains my favourite. It is a captivating book, and I was unable to put it down when I first read it, and the 20 or so times that I have read it since, it still manages to keep me enthralled. Thank you to Beauty for introducing me to Fantasy, a genre I never would have thought to look into.

This book was extremely lengthy but amazingly held my attention and kept me captivated. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and was surprised that I was able to finish such a long book(seeing as how I have such a short attention span). The fairytale-esque quality of it made me wish the story had never ended! This is one book I wouldn’t mind reading again.
