That cover looked so amazing I instantly headed over to Amazon and YAWN.
Book descriptions that use “beautiful” as the defining descriptor of the heroine instantly sound so off-putting and boring to me. I’ve read and seen too many stories with that kind of character and NOPE. I have zero desire to hear more about the tragic condition of “too beautiful”. Yes, it’s possible to turn that into a plot device but never an interesting one.
Double YAWN if the beautiful heroine is destined for some destiny because she has the most magical magic in all the land.
I don’t want to be negative but I’m just tired of all these unbelievable beauties. I just wish there were more female characters who are ordinary women in extraordinary circumstances. You know, like their male counterparts…
