Loved all the unexpected plot twists. Looking forward to book 4! One comment....were too many typos and errors! Needs much better proofreading!
Hello! Thank you so much for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the book despite the proofreading mishap. This has been fixed and the book should read much better now.
Another thrilling installment to the series. Taking a bit of a turn and focusing on a different setting, we still get the page turning allure of storytelling as we see things from a slightly different perspective, as the story follows more on Henrietta's growth as a character. Her character has really changed since the start of the series, and I just love how she has turned out. And while watching the young queen navigate politics in a foreign court, we still have our original cast to keep the strategy building and espionage, like two sides of the same coin. Add in that whirlwind ending and a perfectly executed romantic subplot which hardly focuses on romance and is a clean read (there is romance involved, but think of it more as a tertiary storyline). Overall? an excellent and engaging read that leaves me pining for the next one.
