My Reviews
This book will take you on an emotional roller coaster. While I found much tradagdy, I found myself hoping for better days and for courage to prevail.
Slow to get into this book. I found the language and writing difficult to get me really involved with the characters. Felt the author step out of the time period by using some of the language of today. I really liked the concept of the book and enjoyed the last one third as it seem to then take on the action of the time.
This novel takes you on a journey of a family driven to win the favor of the King and all the prizes that come with that.
It will take you on an jorney of emotions from enchanted, intrigue to suprise and thrilling. It brings to life the experiences of the court never captured by your school books. History becomes intersting and makes you want to know what happens next.
Over all the book was good, however more background information would have been helpful. You feel like the author dropped you in the middle of this moment in time. Further development of key characters, I felt, would have brought this book more to life.
I didn't feel a great connection to any of the charecters. I was expecting more Austen and felt a bit dissapointed. It was a good read not a great read. I found myself loosing track of who is who and who had a connection to the other in the group.
