Book Review : Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge

WOW! WOW WOW WOW! 

I read the reviews before reading this book and I had high expectations from this book. Cruel Beauty lived up to those expectation, down to the last bit. 

My reaction after reading this book :




Before this book, I read The One (check my review here)and I was still smarting from how pathetic I found the series to be when I started this book. 

Where do I even start talking about this book. I loved everything. Beauty and the beast was probably the first fairy tale I read as a child and hence have quite a liking for it. This was the first book I've read based on that tale and I absolutely adore this book.

Dear book :

Let me give you a biiiiiig hug

Let me talk about Ignifex

First of all, 



This character is so fun. He's clever. smart and FUN. I have honestly no other word for him. He kept me smiling and made me enjoy this read more than I thought I would.

Nyx 

This girl is kickass. She slaps the demon in his face, doesn't shy away from attacking him, and other things that would be spoiler-ish to mention. 



I love you Nyx

The thing is, all these authors in their haste to write relate-able characters end up making them so fucking lame. And Nyx was so different from that shit. She's a breath of fresh air in the female lead category of YA Fantasy.

Shade :

Nothing to say. He's an okay of a character. Nothing memorable.

Plot :

Excellent story. Maintains suspense. Makes you want to keep reading, keeps you engaged. 8/10 for the plot. 

Dear Rosamund Hodge,
