"When Coddie unintentionally delivers a fairy from a spell that held her prisoner, she does not realize how poisoned the wish is she gets in return. From repulsive and stinking of fish she becomes perceived as magnetically beautiful, which does not help her in her village. A young local lord saves her but soon it becomes apparent her destiny may be far greater" --

Loved this, filled with amazing art, compelling story, and a dark tone fairy tale!A poor village girl with a face only her mother loves, accidentally frees a fairy and is granted a wish. She wishes for beauty and the fairy delivers...only this wish backfires as it brings out the terribleness in men's hearts. The beauty brings her nothing but hardship and riches.If only she had wished for respect, could things have gone differently? I think she wished for what we maybe all have wished for at some point, beauty. It really puts things in a perspective of values, if those could be wished for? Anyway, eventually we do see our beauty become more wise with inspiration from her daughter and does use the gift to the full potential at the nearing ends of her days. I additionally like the mysterious fairies and their world building/destroying with themWonderful, fantastic, and dark!If you liked this check out [b:Beautiful Darkness 17287069 Beautiful Darkness Fabien Vehlmann https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1364599765l/17287069.SX50.jpg 6577216]
