This book looks beautiful, but sadly on this occasion, looks are deceptive.
I really wanted to like this book, but despite attempting to read it on more than one occasion, I could not get into it.
I found the swapping between 'normal' text and the parts written in the form of a play really jarring and not conducive to easy reading which at the end of the day is what I want. I also didn't warm to Ursula, which probably made me less inclined to battle through the parts written in play form as I was not invested in the character.
The cover is absolutely beautiful, and the premise of the book is interesting, but the inside did not live up to my expectation. Unfortunately in this case the phrase don't judge a book by it's cover, is true but not in a good way.
