I actually read this book before the first in the trilogy, ‘The Other Countess’. But this actually didn’t matter! Eve Edwards manages to create a lovely image of Tudor England in the reign of Elizabeth I. I am a huge fan of historical fiction and so this book really was my cup of tea!
At the start of the book we meet Lady Jane Perceval, now the Marchioness of Rievaulx, who I completely fell in love with! She was everything I look for in a main character: loveable, tough, strong-willed, with an air of vulnerability.
What can I say about James? He was completely swoon-worthy! He is one of those characters that you instantly fall in love with! How I wish I was in Tudor England right now *sigh*!
All of the other characters were well-thought out and just marvelous! I am really rather annoyed that I’m not a time traveler -or have a tardis!
The front cover is amazing and really draws you in. It clearly states that this is a book of style and class- Tudor style and class. I know that I picked it up straight away as soon as I saw it!
Overall, I really, really thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who loves historical fiction, or even a good romance!
RATING: 5/5
Has anyone else read this book? What did you think? And if you haven’t, what is your opinion?
I’m sorry for the lack of reviews as I have been unwell and haven’t read a lot lately but I promise that there will be more reviews coming up!
The characters are really interesting and you’re are always left anticipating their next move. I really loved the main character, Tris, who we see transform throughout the book. I wasn’t sure if I would like her, as it seemed that she hadn’t developed much of a personality at the start, and was ruled by her faction. But I was wrong! She really did have a personality under all of those Abnegation clothes!
Four, Four, Four, Four, Four. Now my favourite number! Four is one of those characters that you just fall in love with straight away. At first he has quite a gruff demeanor and doesn’t get close to anyone. But then we see him meet Tris and create a bond with her that really brings tears to your eyes. You can tell right from the start that there is something different about him.
The other characters are really great too! They’re easy to get to know, but you’re also not sure of there next moves, what they’re going to do next; and I really liked that about the book.
The cover is really great! If I were to see it in a bookshop, I would pick it up straightaway! It really says something about the book. It instantly draws you in, which I loved!
Overall, I think this is one of my favourite books of the year so far! Veronica Roth has created a Dystopian world which I both love and hate, at the same time.
RATING: 5/5
I had to write a short story for my Religious Studies class, explaining what the word ‘conflict’ means to me, and I’ve decided to post it here! I hope you enjoy it!
I hope everyone thinks it’s okay! Please comment with feedback; I would really appreciate it!
