The Court of Miracles
by Kester Grant
This was such an awesome retelling and retooling of a classic! Nina was badass and deserved all the accolades because she did everything she could to protect who she considered family, and ever evolving group in the Miracle Court. While I would have like more background on the development of the sisterhood that exists between in Nina and Ettie, it was clear that they would do anything for each other. It was also nice to see that romance wasn’t going to be the central theme of the story, even though Nina had a variety of suitors, from assassins (Montparnasse) to revolutionaries (Enjorlas St. Juse) to royals (the dauphin of France).
I liked the descriptions of the different guilds in the miracle court, especially the assassins guild, with Madame Corsair, the mesmerizing Lord, and masters of knives and poison, the guild of letters, that know all and can spy and blackmail whoever they choose), and the guild of the dead (with Orso the storyteller, Loup the dedicated master, and Gavroche, Ettie’s devoted shadow), with their creepy echoey responses and ability to appear from nowhere.
I am interested to see where the series goes next (it appears to be a part of a series and there is a path for more story to develop), especially if it gives some more answers about le Maire, aka Valjean, a badass spy from the guild of letters and Javert, a almost scorned woman feel as a bitter and vengeful royal inspector.
