Camellia and her sisters are born to make and create beauty in others. So when she is asked to obey and do as she is told, she finds not everything and everyone is as they seem.
The Belles is an epic fantasy adventure that I found hard to start, but as the story picked up pace, I could not put down or stop reading.
The character development is very deep and thorough, the storyline plays on our vanity as humans and asks how far will we go to be beautiful.
