Sooo annoyed by this. It's terribly dramatic, even more so than the last Princess book. Viola is a pretty horrible person, the whole lovestory was unconvincing and I just didn't connect with either protagonist and couldn't bring myself to care. That might have been because at about 20% I was already really annoyed by this book and the ridiculous research that apparently went into it: Nobody in their right mind would travel from Paris (or almost anywhere in France) to The Hague via Germany, and especially not via Bremen. That's a 13+ hours train ride and you'd have to change trains 4 or 5 times whereas the most direct Paris - The Hague connection is almost 10 hours faster and you need to change trains only once. And yes, stuff like that pisses me of and can ruin a novel for me, because it's just lazy and shows how little care went into the setting. I mean, you can put the route into Google Maps and it tells you exactly which train to take - and that that trains comes nowhere near the German border. And anybody with even a slight idea of European geography would know that …
