The Court of Miracles
by Kester Grant
I really thoroughly enjoyed The Court of Miracles. It was an easy and enjoyable read. This story can be read on its own with no prior knowledge of Les Mis, however if you are familiar with Les Mis I would say you would definitely enjoy a lot of the little easter eggs woven throughout the story.
One thing I particularly enjoyed from this story was the emphasis on friendship and family. Most of the story actually focused on platonic relationships such as those rather than romantic ones. So, if you're looking for the rare YA novel where romance is hardly involved, this is for you. Romantic possibilities for the FMC are explored, but just barely.
This falls short of a five star read for me because of the conflict resolution. With the build-up and history given, I was left feeling unsatisfied by the ending. Hell, I felt like the villain was cheated out of a better ending. We all were. I also have heard rumors that this is the first in a series, which I would be willing to explore further, however I would not say this ends on any sort of cliffhanger.
