“Sometimes we must pay a terrible price to protect the things we love.”
Court of Miracles pretty much hits the ground running, part 1 of the book is only around 16% and yet SO much happens! When we first meet Nina she is living in her fathers Tavern with her sister Azelma, a sister who usually loving has all of a sudden distanced herself. We find out the reason for this and what happens sets into motion a chain of events that no one could predict. Nina is whisked away to the underworld of Paris and swears herself to the Lord of Thieves becoming his Black Cat. Her journey takes her to the world of revolutionaries, day-walkers, people who a generally unaware of the criminal underground and who the guilds have little do do with; and the Palace to the side of the Dauphin himself. She makes herself invaluable to those around her racking in debts along the way, so when the time comes her wishes might just be granted, and her one chance to rescue her sister will depend on those debts being called in.
“Escape my Lord? I’m the Cat of the Thieves Guild.’ I smile in the darkness. ‘I’m here to steal you.’”
Like I said above the book certainly starts with a bang and what follows can only be described as a big ass fire work display. A lot happens over the course of this book and though it is massively character driven the author still manages to put together a plot that will keep you hooked to the page. She gives you the revolutionary Paris that fans of Les Miserable will know and love, but adds to it an underground filled with guilds for thieves, beggars, assassins, mercenaries, smugglers, prostitutes, opium eaters and men of letters. I really enjoyed the parts of the book where we got a deeper insight into the guild, and I thought the author balanced the plot and the history of her world beautifully. We get little insights into how the court was started and how the current Lords and Lady’s came to be in power, and at the same time the author manages to foreshadow future events and the amount of times I found myself turning back pages, wondering how I hadn’t seen certain plot points coming is innumerable. Les Mis fans will appreciate the little Easter eggs the author plants with well known characters and plot lines but she puts her own twist on it making it less on the nose than some would think.
“I’m no woman, no girl. I’ve no blood father or home or any of the false cards this life dealt me. I chose who I am; I’m the Black Cat. A daughter of this city. A Child of Tomasis, Lord of the thieves guild. No one can take anything else from me because the Tiger already took it. And I’m going to get it back.”
The characters make the book. It might only be told from Nina’s perspective but through her time with the guilds, revolutionaries and Royalty we get introduced to a whole host of side characters that the author completely brings to life. It is rare for a book to contain so many pivotal characters without loosing any of their essence but, though I do love Nina, my favourites were some of the side characters that we get to interact with through her eyes. Nina was brilliantly written. She oozes a kind of honour and strength that unknowingly attracts people to her. She racks in debt after debt by simply doing the right thing, even if the reasoning behind it isn’t always as faultless. Her only aim in life is to bring her sister safely home and she will do literally anything to achieve that. The other what I would class as ‘main character’ was Ettie. She was lovable and slightly naive and my only chagrin is that we don’t really get to fully appreciate her character growth as so much of it happens off page. The author kind of forgoes world building to give her characters the page time they deserve and trust me… you will fall in love with them all.
” You know we can’t survive this Ettie.’ I say softly. ‘Then we die together.’ She replies shaking out her curls defiantly.’ I’d rather live one glorious night hunting by your side, Nina Thenadier, than a hundred lifetimes without you.”
Relationships play a huge part in this book. Whether they are familial love, friendships, unsure alliances or romantic. The main relationship we get an insight to is that of Nina and Ettie. Nina would do anything to protect sweet and innocent Ettie after she catches the Eye of the Tiger and their sibling style relationship was a pleasure to follow throughout the book. Nina also makes some truly bizarre friends and unlikely alliances throughout the book, some of which had me laughing out loud for their absurdity. Romance wise this book contained very little of it, despite Ettie wanting to set Nina up with any boy who looks at her. There are three boys who the author eludes could be future romantic partners, and I know who my favourite is, but Nina has bigger things on her plate and I liked how the author kept her away from being the simpering girl in love with every boy in her life.
“I’ve never been able to fight your battles. I’ve not been able to lift my hand to protect you. I cannot risk dragging my guild into this war.’ His eyes are burning with emotion. ‘But if he kills you, I’ll take his head from his body and i’ll sit it on a pike in the middle of the Lords’ table in the Miracle Court and none will ever take it down. There it will rot, the worms will eat it to bone, and all who see it will remember you.’ His voice breaks.’ Even if Corday asks my life of me in return, I’ll do it I swear.”
The plot twists in the book made me dizzy, honestly so many times I thought I knew where the story was going and then bam! Plot twist. In most cases the author places hints for those savvy enough to notice them, but they completely took me by surprise. I’ve already mentioned that the plot is fast paced, and because of how much happens it is hard to talk about without giving away any major spoilers. I would say that if I hadn’t already known this book was part one in a series I wouldn’t have guessed it from the ending. And what an ending it was, I was glued to the pages and flew through the last 30% or so. There were some plot points left open but it was a little too neatly tied in a bow for me to get a good idea of where book two will be going. I would love for the second book to be multi perspective, simply because of all the amazing characters we get introduced too and will eagerly be awaiting its arrival

The story was very good. Only to much sentences that started with for.
After the French Revolution failed, the underworld of Paris is divided into 9 guild and all are trying to keep their heads down and earn a profit.
Eponine Thenardier's father has been teaching her his trade from an early age but after he attempts to sell her into prostitution, she joins the Guild of Thieves using the skills he taught her to make her way in the world.
Yet Eponine can't forget her older sister who was sold into prostitution to protect her and is willing to do anything to find and save her.
--------------------------------
This book was so much fun to read!
I was shocked because historical fiction isn't really my thing but this was more historical fantasy which is my jam. I'm going to try and get that illumicrate edition of.
This book is a bad Les Misérables retelling, which is why so many people had issues with it because it bastardizes it a lot but I enjoyed a good au so I was having fun.
I love Nina so much! Her character development was well done and I enjoyed her POV so much.
The side characters were enjoyable though it was a little weird that all the male characters around her age was into Nina.
It was interesting how Grant portrayed the Les Mis cast. Javert was a woman and had a relationship with Valjean. But I don't get why she didn't keep him as a man? It would've been interesting if they were gay. (But you could argue that Javert motivations for chasing him was because she thought he ruined her)
The only genuine issue I had with this book was the pacing/time.
There was a couple time skips that happened and it wasn't always clear. I don't know the age of Nina and all I know is that she was young in the beginning and got older by the end of it.
Personally, I really enjoyed this book so much and it's best to not think too much and just take it as a Les Mis fanfic au.

Firstly, I want to say thank you to Netgalley and Harper Voyager for sending me a copy of The Court of Miracles by Kester Grant. I really appreciate this opportunity.
The Court of Miracles was one of any most anticipated books of this year, the fact that it is thought to be a Jungle Book retelling really called out to me. I love the Jungle Book and anything related to it. Also, can we please just take a moment to appreciate the cover, how beautiful is it?!?!?!
This book is beautifully written, the writing style is so magical and mesmerising you will struggle to put it down. I made the mistake of starting this book late yesterday evening so I had to put it down to go to bed and pick it back up again this morning. Had I have started it earlier this would have been a book that I read in one sitting, I was so captivated by the writing. Once I dove into the book, I forgot about everything else around me, I was consumed entirely by this world.
That said, I feel like I wanted a little bit more from the world. Whilst magical and mesmerising I feel like the world wasn't built upon significantly enough. I love the Court is split up into different categories, this really interested me. Whilst I understood the world, to a point I feel like it could have been explored in far more depth to really make the reader love this book much more. I felt that the plot was very quick. Don't get me wrong, I love a face paced, action packed book as much as everyone else but I feel like this is too quick. BY doing this I think the author has taken away a lot of the general world building in exchange for this. I for one, would have liked more world building in the first book and a bit less action in preparation for the next book.
I enjoyed the characters, Nina was so fierce, and Ettie such a little delight. I really liked seeing their relationship build and the fact that Nina will do anything for those that she loved. This aspect of the characters I really enjoyed. However, again I feel like they were under developed and in order to build up a connection with them I really had to try hard. Which is something that I don't feel a reader should do. Yes, I really did like them but I wanted a little bit more which would have contributed to my enjoyment of this book.
I will pick up the next book in this series as I am very intrigued on what is going to happen next. All in all, this is a good debut and one that I would recommend that people read. It just fell a bit flat for me. I am hoping all of the above will be incorporated into the next book to make a very good, exciting sequel.

There are two things you can say to me that will make me immediately feel the need to pick up a book 1) that it has an undertone similar to that of Les Miserables - one of my FAVORITE works of art ever and 2) that it has hints of a novel written by quite possibly my favorite author (Leigh Bardugo!). So Immediately I was sold on Court of Miracles! I had to know how it all came together!
AND GUYS! This book was AMAZING! I loved this retelling so much! Nina is the perfect leading lady, ruthless and ready to do what she has to do to get what she wants! It’s so nice to see a STRONG female lead!
This book had a wonderful world building that will sweep you off your feet and put you smack in the middle of the story as it unfolds around you and the twists and turns were so well done that you never saw them coming!
And guess what? It’s a FAST PACED BOOK and I AM HERE FOR IT. How often do I complain about slow burns and pacing in books leaving less to be desired! Well, I found my remedy and that is The Court of Miracles!

You can find this review of The Court of Miracles on my blog, Heart's Content!
A big shout out and thank you to FFBC Tours for including me in the tour and to the publisher for providing me with a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review!
Slump? What slump?
The Court of Miracles was utterly out of my typical preference in reading, however, when I read that blurb and saw that cover, I knew I had to read this book and I solemnly swear I shall, for the rest of my life, always always always listen to my intuition because it has never led me wrong ever.
This story is the first one where despite the protagonist being such a large presence in it, the plot utterly outweighs literally everything and everyone. The story flows so well that had the author been a seamstress, this book would be the cloth with the highest thread count with not a single breath capable of slipping through the space between one thread and another. The plot is tight, filled with mystery, intrigue, betrayal, politics and thrill. My heart was beating throughout the last thirty percent of the book and I was genuinely sitting at the edge of the seat, my eyes unable to even consider getting distracted. Despite this, I guessed nothing. There were moments where my reactions were out loud and I start to talk to (read: shout incoherently at) the closest seated family member, spewing what just happened even though they had no context, because I had to tell someone–MY MIND WAS BEING BLOWN.
The characters. Here’s the thing, despite it being so well plotted out, it’s such a surprise that each character had such a very specific presence, role and personality. Every single page is a like a domino that the author has placed just at that precise location and nothing makes sense until they’ve already fallen and you watch the consequences and then finally… the whole picture. Or at least what the author wants you to see.
Usually any ambiguity in the protagonist’s love interest has me jaded and makes me disengage from the protagonist, but here’s the thing, I was with the protagonist through the whole of her journey I felt everything she did. But gosh there was this one character I think my heart settled on.
This story is about love. About obsession and revenge. But not that kind you would presume and at the same time the kind you would expect. The metaphors, the drama! I swear it felt like I was watching it happen, goosebumps and shock spreading through me! The author has handled a lot of social ideas and issues in subtle ways hidden beneath the layer of fiction. I highly recommend this book, be prepared for a ride with the biggest rush ever.

Das Cover zu 'Der Hof der Wunder' von Kester Grant hat mich sofort begeistert. Ich liebe die Vogelsilhouette, Schrift und auch die Farben konnten mich für sich einnehmen.
Die Sprecherin Marie Bierstedt ist meine liebste weibliche Sprecherin, daher muss ich sagen war ich doch ein wenig enttäuscht, dass ich nicht hundertprozent überzeugt bin von der Story. Das ist aber keinesfalls die Schuld der Sprecherin, denn ich finde sie hat wie immer ihr bestes gegeben und die Geschichte so gut wie eben möglich umzusetzen.
Leider hat mich die Story selbst nicht wirklich fesseln können. Ich fand es zwar ganz okay, aber eben auch nur das: Okay! Ich fand die Handlung alles in allem ziemlich wirr und obwohl das Hörbuch erst einen wirklich spannenden Start hingelegt hat, hat mich die Geschichte nach ca. einem Drittel nicht mehr halten können. Meiner Meinung nach war der Sprung zwischen der ursprünglichen Handlung - der Rettung von Ninas Schwester' - und den darauffolgenden Ereignissen einerseits zu abgehackt und andererseits zu langatmig. Irgendwie fand ich den ganzen Plot total verschachtelt und verwirrend. Wie ihr nun seht, konnte mich die Handlung leider nicht überzeugen.
Alles in allem fand ich 'Der Hof Der Wunder - Teil 1' ganz okay. Leider konnte mich die Handlung nicht von sich überzeugen, denn meiner Meinung nach hätte der Plot noch viel mehr ausgearbeitet werden müssen.
Die Sprecherin hingegen hat wie immer ihr bestes gegeben, was man wie ich finde auch wirklich merkt. Leider konnte auch Marie die Story für mich nicht retten. Daher: diesmal leider keine Lese- / Hörempfehlung von mir.
