dinosaboardserenity 's review for:
The Court of Miracles
by Kester Grant
I was very surprised at how much I loved this book. As it ended I was beyond ready for the next chapter, the next book. I'm a sucker for books with strong political systems and this book provided well. Not only in the monarchy but also the Guilds- they felt like they were built on a strong foundation.
Pros: Somehow the Les Mis tie in worked- even with the changes made. More of an alternate history/look into the underbelly of the city rather than a true retelling.
I am all about the guilds. 100%. In fact, I kind of wish someone would make an RPG with this setting because it works so well.
Cons: Our main character is pretty indestructible despite everything. She challenges the laws of the guild and is punished but not as severely as she probably should be.
SPOILERS
The ending is essentially a declaration of war- and I am hoping that our main character sees punishment or fallout from this instead of a stern talking to.
