I absolutley adored this book. It's about a girl named Aza who just hates herself. She lives in a land where everyone sings all the time. Aza has the best voice in the land, but that's not the problem. The problem is that she has a hideous face. She grew up with adoptive parents since her real ones abandoned her when she was just a baby. One day, Aza learns that she can make regular objects like bowls and staues sing and say things with her mind, a skill she calls illusing. Years later she goes to the king's wedding as the companion substitute for a duchess. There she becomes friends with the King's new wife, who is very pretty in looks, but not in voice, and becomes her lady in waiting. Aza is really happy, until the new queen threatens to do terrible things to her and her family if Aza doesn't illuse for her at the upcoming Sing so it sounds like she has a beautiful voice. Now Aza is trapped in a box, and can't turn to anyone for help, not even her new friend, the prince, without putting her family in danger.
Fairest is a very good book. If you like fairy tales with romance, evil mirrors, queens, ill kings, gnomes, ogres, and ugly maidens, then this is the book for you!
