A review by acciodaydreamer
The Court of Miracles by Kester Grant
4.0
Thank you, HarperCollins, for the early proof copy!
Summary:
.
In Paris dwells the underworld of The Miracle Court with its guilds of "ghosts", thieves, assassins and more. They are the city's wretched.
.
But will Nina bring The Miracle Court to the brink of war? When her sister is sold to a monster, Nina is forced to join the Thieves Guild to remain safe. But she won't give up until her sister is safe too.
.
The Court of Miracles is a thrilling fantasy novel. I really enjoyed reading about Nina and her interactions with other Guilds. Love the Assassins Guild! They are so dark and mysterious.
.
I also like the personification of the city. For me, it added to the book's dark and fantastical atmosphere. Although the novel is set in a real city, Paris, it still feels like an entire different world. It reminds me of V.E Schwab's A Darker Shade of Magic.
.
I did find the first part slow and was close to DNFing, but I'm glad I didn't! I especially liked the twist--was not expecting that at all!
