![]() ![]() Nyx is a strong but emotional character, which makes her easy to root for as she tries to find all of the things she needs to defeat Ignifex. Pairing mythology with a Beauty and the Beast kind of fantasy was an interesting choice that I had not seen many other authors do before. Nyx’s people believe in the classical Greek gods and goddesses, so many of their stories are interwoven throughout the book. ![]() What Cruel Beauty gets right: I enjoyed the mythology in this novel. However, there are many riddles and revelations to come along the way, and Ignifex is not all he seems. In this book, teenage maiden Nyx is sent to the castle of her nation’s enemy, a demon prince named Ignifex, whom she has been training to defeat and save her people. Fans of classic fairy tales like Beauty and the Beast and Rumpelstiltskin will enjoy Cruel Beauty, Rosamund Hodge’s fantasy and mythology novel. ![]()
