De dochter van de ambassadeur: Een prachtig verhaal over moed, verlangen en liefde in bewogen tijden

While interesting read from the perspective it brings, a German Jewess at the end of WWI. I had forgotten this was part of the series - I must admit while I enjoyed this one, I liked the Kommandant's girl better.

Somewhat superfluous prequel in the series - I am waiting now for the Prime Minister's Second cousin Once Removed - anyway below average and not as engaging as the other books in the series which has indeed worn out its welcome.

After reading the first two books in this series, it was interesting to read the "prequel" of a character I'd already met. I enjoy historical fiction from many time periods, but I haven't read much from the World War I era, so it made the storylines fresh. Like the previous two books, there was intrigue and espionage, and with it, twists and turns that made me start or gasp a bit as they were revealed. But this book had a bit more of a love story than the previous two (though they had their own romance as well). I was definitely as caught up in Margot and Georg's romance as I was in Margot's inner turmoil over her unintended involvement with Red Thorn. My only regret is that there is no real resolution to their love story, despite the Epilogue. I do enjoy Jenoff's writing though, and I have more of her books on my "to-read" list. I also wouldn't be disappointed if another book was released in this series.

I loved this story, wasn't so crazy about Margot's character. I think I disliked her so much is because I am so far removed from the time when women had no real choice in their marriages and such. I just felt she should have taken a stand sooner instead of being so indecisive. But the writing was wonderful, there was honestly something magical about it. Maybe that's the effect of Paris.

Beautifully written and well researched about a period of time that many have not written about. Characters are intriguing and it was interesting to read about Georg before the events of t he end of the first world war. But honestly I was coloured by what had happened to the characters in the sequel so I just found myself disappointed by that.
