This book was a mandatory read in high school and it’s been 6 years and it is still my favorite book. The plot is incredible but the writing style is even better. All those specific themed vocabulary focused on each character’s backstory is genius. Furthermore, all the historical details are on point and it is so fun to discover the old France. I highly recommend.
