![]() ![]() Then, Zadie is maimed, and Nor goes in her place, disguising her scar to pass as her sister. Zadie and Nor are twins and considered the most beautiful, but a childhood accident marks Nor with a small scar, so it is accepted Zadie will be the one chosen. ![]() ![]() In a small pearl-diving village, the most beautiful girl each generation is sent away to marry a far-off prince, never to return to her ocean-top home again. The pitch is fantastic, and at first I thought I was getting into a solid 5, or 4.5, star book: the first 100 pages are slow moving, but also have fantastic writing, emotional beats, and story elements. It sounded interesting and the cover was gorgeous, but I didn’t know what I was stepping into. This was a book I asked for and was semi-surprised I’d received. Dramatic, bold, and entirely unrelated to both the pitch and actual plot. I received this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.Įven the tagline of this book is at war with its concept: Steal the crown, save the kingdom. ![]()
