The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton
4.0
I really loved and enjoyed this book so much!
I found the world to be vibrant and compelling. I loved the descriptions of all the room decor and fashion styles. I loved how everyone was so over the top. This world really reflected how a world would end up if everyone was obsessed with beauty and if they didn't obsess they're only other option was monster-like and possible madness.
I also really like how the trends are formed and everyone will go from a normal look to something almost outrageous. I found the fact that people change their skin tone very regularly to be off putting, but again it fit well in the world. The fact that a skin ton had to be chosen to cover up the grey allows for skin color to also become a trend.
I really enjoyed all the characters, especially the villain. The villain is horrible and compelling and just the worst, but the motivations were amazing.
I found Camelle to be sweet and determined and so awesome. The Belle powers are so cool and I would like to learn about them more in the up coming book(s). I also really liked Bree and all the other Belles. Remy was awesome too. That moment with his sisters just melted my heart. The one character I didn't like was Auguste. I personally really didn't like Auguste from the beginning. His banter and 'flirting' weren't charming at all. But, Camelle hasn't spend much time around men, so she really wouldn't know any better.
This book is just so good!
