Aurelie and her friends used to be so close. Now, not so much. With war looming and her duties as Heir taking over her life, Aurelie has to figure out how to navigate the political waters while trying to save her friendships.This book couldn't quite figure out who it was aiming for. It was written young, maybe Middle School, but some of the ways the characters acted seemed to be a little older, maybe High School. It was a shallow story, and the characters seemed pretty flat.And why, if this is a made-up world, do they keep using French phrases and titles? Maybe I would have enjoyed this if I was younger, but not so much now. She was still figuring out how to write a book when she wrote this one. Each chapter is told from the perspective of 1 of 4 main characters. 3 of the characters are told in 1st person, 1 is in 3rd. why, you ask? I don't know. It's a little awkward. There is a lot of build up to conflicts that are resolved really quickly and a little to easily. Tomlinson's book, Toads and Diamonds is great, but I would skip this one.
What do You think about Aurelie: A Faerie Tale (2010)?
Took me a while to get into this book but it was a good fairy tale. Srange ending though

This book made no sense, had no flow, and yet held so much promise.

Not bad. A little choppy but a nice littel read.
