The Court of Miracles
by Kester Grant
This was a book that I was so incredibly excited to read mostly due to how beautiful it looked the media hyping it up beforehand.
And now I'm glad I read it. But I didn't quite adore it as much as I hoped I would.
Now, this could be because I don't actually know Les Mis. At all. I recognised some of the names but that's it. So I didn't feel a strong connection. But I did grow to love the characters. Especially Ettie and Montparnasse.
Speaking of Montparnasse, I did love him and Nina together. I'm a big fan of assassin love interests. But i think I mostly shipped it as I love the idea? There wasnt enough interaction for me to really feel it. And it wasnt down to the time skips because you see how her relationships with others have grown as there's enough scenes. I just lomd of wanted more of them.
But I did love the world building. The idea of the miracle court was fascinating and I adored getting a peek at them with the meetings and the like. The stories at the beginning of each section helped with world building too and were such a fun addition. I definitely want to see more of this world.
So I definitely would recommend this book but I would say look more into it than just how stunning the cover is.
