Totally good!
This is a REALLY good book.
WHAT??!! SHALLOW CHARACTERS??!! oh shut up. Aza just wants beauty so she can fit in and not be the VERY oddball.
And Ijori is also sweet 'cause he loves Ava for what she looks like and what she is!

I'm 10 and I read it. I loved most of it, but there are a couple of things that I think are iffy: some deception, imprisonment, and a little kissing. But overall, it rocks!

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved this. In the beginning Aza is completely concerned about how she looks, but READ ON, later Aza finds out that inner beauty is what really matters. I think this is best for girls 10+ but younger girls CAN read this, it just might not make a lot of sense. Boys are VERY likely to NOT be interested in this story. But girls will probably LOVE it.

A Not-So Fairytale
Since I don't like fairytales, I really don't like Cinderella and always moan when our teacher makes us read or watch anything like that. But Fairest is a tale with NO fairies. And also, you can really see how Aza wants to be beautiful. It is one of my favorite books. However, my favoritre book would be "The Darkest Hour" from the Warrior Cats series by Erin Hunter. Really, it is a fantastic book and it is about a girl who wants to 1., be pretty 2., rid herself of queen Ivi's dangerous deed she must do, and 3., marry the prince and be his friend. She has wonderful singing and all the praise she gets in the books is unbelieveable, like she's a famous person.

great book!
I love this book! It's amazing, my favorite book! If you're younger than 10 it might be kinda confusing though. You might want to read it twice, and then you'll understand it more.

Good reading for anyone above 10 to understand the full meaning.
I'm 10 and this is not the first time I've read the book. Even though there 's a tiny bit of violence or blood, it's nothing bad, so I suggest this book to anyone who loves fantasy and adventure, which I do!

I love this book!
This book is a good read but only if you like fairytales and books of that sort. Some people might have a diffrent oppinion but I personaly loved this book. I think it shows that Aza ( the main character) learned how to think better about herself and when the king tried to save Ivi I though that was about self sacrifice.

Another wonderfully empowering story from Gail Carson Levine.
My 8-year old loved this book, and so do I. This story includes many subtle lessons: the pitfalls of obsession with beauty, the importance of family support and self-reliance, making the most of your strengths, and how good deeds and considerations can pay back in unexpected ways.

Best for young teens.
I really enjoyed reading Fairest, I have read it twice.
One thing that really reeled me in was how Ijori fell in love with Aza even though she was outwardly unattractive to herself and many others.
I think that a teenager will get the most out of this story since it has a lot to do with self-esteem. It's a real encourager.
