michaelasjourneyintobooks 's review for:
The Court of Miracles
by Kester Grant
*I would like to thank Netgalley and the author for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review*
This was one of my most anticipated reads for this year and I'm so glad to say that I was not disappointed.
This is a retelling of Les Misérables and I'd say it would be best to go into this with at least some knowledge of the story in order to better understand some of these characters and their significance.
Talking about characters, I loved the characters in this. There is a large cast of characters, despite this all of the characters have their own personality and I never once got confused about who was who. Nina is a great protagonist and her relationship with Ettie and the lengths she was willing to go to protect her is what really made this book for me.
The world building was also really well done and I loved learning more about the Court of Miracles and each of the different guilds that make it up.
I will say it was very slow going in the beginning and it took awhile for me to really get into the plot however once I did I fell in love with it. And the ending of this was so good and I can't wait of the sequel.
Overall, this book did not disappoint and I gave it 4 out of 5 stars.
Trigger warnings for: abuse, poverty, drug misuse, slavery, prostitution
