Fairest by Gail Levine Carson

The Fairy Lucinda has once again given a dreadful gift. This time it's a mysterious magical mirror. The gift is disastrous when it falls into the hands of Aza,who never looks in a mirror if she can help it.In the Kingdom of Ayortha, Aza is definitely not the fairest of them all. Many spurn her. Many scoff her.She keeps out of sight. But in the land of singers,Aza has her own gift,one she's come by without fairy intervention: a voice that can do almost anything,a voice that captivates all who hear it.In Ontio Castle,merry Prince Ijori is drawn to it, and vain Queen Ivi wants to use it for her own ends. Queen Ivi would do anything to remain the fairest in the land.
In this spellbinding tale filled with humor,adventure,romance,and song, Newbery Honor author Gail Carson Levine invites you to join Aza as she discovers how exquisite she truly is.

I read this in less than 24 hours. It is really touching story, written by the author of Ella Enchanted. It's written in first person, and half of the talking is sung.
Just one word of advice : Don't like anyone to quickly. ;) I almost did that.
I would read this one again, and I would recommend any of Gail Carson Levine's books.
5/5 stars <3
