![]() ![]() None of the characters were exactly likeable as they didn’t have many of the usual heroic characteristics expected in a heroine or hero, like mercy and kindness, and yet I rooted for their happiness. ![]() I haven’t been as riveted by a book in a very long time. Hodge only adds to the gripping journey of our heroine Nyx by adding myths from Pandora’s box to Cupid & Psyche to Bluebeard. But no matter her feelings for the boys, her whole life she was trained to destroy the castle and bring down Ignifex in revenge for her mother’s death. Trapped in Ignifex’s castle as his latest bride, Nyx becomes entranced by Ignifex as well as his look-alike butler. They lie, murder, double-cross and are far more compelling than your usual heros and villains. “ Cruel Beauty” by Rosamund Hodge will take you on a wicked journey with truly flawed characters. What can I say except welcome to Pandora’s book. ![]()
