A cursed prince. A vain beauty. Glory is the seventh daughter of Balthazar, High King of the Twelve Kingdoms. Glory hopes that - of all her sisters - she can escape the fate of a loveless marriage. But on the night she plans to elope with the royal falconer, her world comes crashing down: Her father announces Glory's betrothal to Eoghan of the Blood Realm - a prince no one has ever seen. The prince is said to be a recluse, cursed and deformed by the gods for the sins of his power-hungry father. Yet when Glory is trapped in Blackthorn Keep she discovers that not everything is what she expected. An insulting gryphon, a persistent ghost, and a secret plan to usurp the prince keep Glory reeling. Can she overcome her vanity to learn that what you want isn’t necessarily what you need—and save the cursed prince?

My Thoughts

This is a really nice touching story with amazing potential to be much more! The storyline is fantastic even though the writer seems a little sketchy and disjointed at times. The characters are very believable and you can really connect with Glory. I was completely enthralled with the story and found myself thinking about it even while I wasn't reading it. I wish she would've gone a little more into detail sometimes and elaborated some more by adding more depth to Eoghan- you barely got to know him! Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Subtle Beauty from start to finish. With a little touching up, this could really be a heartrending fantasy!
