Both Doncaster men and women play in the fourth tier of their respective pyramids. For the men, there are four possible promotion spots from League Two. For the women, there is only one.

They had all these amazing plans to enhance women's football at the time, which sadly didn't arrive in time. It's a shame how far they have fallen." For me a big issue with books is they wait to start. They either give you a scene from the middle of the book, giving you false hope that things will be exciting or they open with a bunch of random philosophical sentences and analogies, which is fine when used in balance but a book should always have an exciting sharing opening. It's the deal maker or breaker for a reader. Unfortunately, even some of the best books have boring openings. This book did not. I was ensnared from the beginning.The idea of this book is original, as well as the cool teacup lions and bears, hence my giving it 2 stars. However, there were quite a lot of unoriginal elements. It was really sad, given all the time and effort people put into it," England told BBC Sport, with the now-Tottenham striker having started her career at Belles before moving to Chelsea in 2016. I'm not trying to say that the author downright stole these ideas, but she definitely borrowed them.

The Belles takes place in a fantasy world where humans have been cursed to look ugly, with misshapen bodies and grey skin. However, there are a few non-ugly people- the Belles, blessed by the Goddess of Beauty, and with abilities to transform people’s bodies to make them beautiful too. The Belles are revered above everyone else and our MC, Camellia, is one of them. The book starts off with Camellia and her sister Belles competing to become ‘the favourite’, the special Belle chosen to tend to the royal family, and the plot continues after that. Her behavior is absolutely foul and infuriating. Her treatment of others, gah, I just can't even. She's a sadist.

(Remember all that ridiculous makeup and those costumes?) Now imagine a world where their entire culture and economy revolves around all that conspicuous consumption and superficial beauty. Orleans is a fantasy kingdom that appears to be very loosely based off New Orleans, where magical girls called Belles use powers called "arcana" to make people beautiful (or ugly) - but at terrible cost.

They have been there since 2019 and currently sit second in the table. However only one team gets promoted and, with leaders Stourbridge already securing the title, a return to higher tiers will have to wait for another season. 'They all want to beat us because of the history' With a capacity of 15,231, Doncaster had the biggest stadium in WSL for the first three seasons of the competitionThere is an ominous presence overarching all of the beauty work that makes you feel cold in your bones. At least, that is how this book felt for me. The secondary characters, unfortunately, are the main downfall here. They seem to be thrown under the bus on multiple occasions just for the sake of the plot, instead of being properly developed. Several times I thought there was potential to really drive a plot with a unique and underplayed character in YA (such as the queen and her female lover, or Sophia’s lady in waiting and her secret love affair with her female servant) only for them to trail off into nothing. Or be used as a pointless plot device. It was deeply disappointing. I want more from my YA these days. Every club struggled for the 20-plus years I was playing, you were cap in hand for sponsorship. We have come a long way, but if Belles were still there, they could still be flying high. They were not given a chance." Camellia Beauregard is a young girl who was born into being a Belle, one that holds magic and can control beauty. In Camellia’s world, Orleans, people are born grey and without the beauty they seek and it’s up to Belles like Camellia to cater to the needs of the citizens. They wanted to attract clubs linked to Premier League sides, I think. Does Doncaster go next to Arsenal? No it doesn't. The club didn't have a leg to stand on financially."

In the world of Orleans, people are born entirely devoid of color. With red eyes and grey skin, beauty does not come naturally, unless of course, you are a Belle.

The whole setting is very interesting. In this society, where people (of course, with money) can change their looks whenever they want, beauty becomes something essential. Something obsessional. People are ready to experience so much pain just to look pretty. If you could change your looks all the time, would you do it just to look more good looking? I liked the topic Dhonielle Clayton handled and the way she did it. The world she created was unique and she did a good job in showing us what these beauty addictions might lead, how they can affect someone’s personality, for the worse. Thank you so much to Disney Hyperion for sending me a copy of this in exchange for an honest review My feelings on this are quite mixed. I liked aspects, but disliked others, was intrigued and excited at times, but also bored at others. Clayton's writing is strong, it wasn't that. I loved her descriptions of the world and the way she showed the magic system. Belles also produced some of England's top players, from Coultard - who scored twice in the Lionesses' first ever World Cup match in 1995 - to Beth England, part of the Euro 2022-winning squad and reported to be the WSL's most expensive player.
