I love your books, Katy!!! When Kitty finally gets her chance to follow Cat into the spotlight of court life, will the price of power prove demand too great a price for their friendship to survive? She was certainly far out of depth as her end proves, her rise and ruin complete in just eighteen short months, her fate sealed by the confidence that consequences were for other people — an assumption that as undone many a person, teenage or not, throughout history.
Regardless, I cannot recommend this novel highly enough as a stellar example of juicy, compulsively readable historical fiction. I absolutely loved the dysfunctional, occasionally toxic, sisterhood at the center of this novel. In a world ruled by men, it will never cease to fascinate me to read stories of women fighting to determine their own futures. Written in English — pages. Gilt May 07, , Speak. Not in Library.
