Mademoiselle Revolution by Zoe Sivak
3.0
new empire rises on the bones of innocents or risk losing her head.
This was a great story! It has a nice mix of historical facts about the Haitian and French revolutions and then the fictional tale of Sylvie's life. The characters were great! I especially liked learning more about the painter Éléonore Duplay, Napoleon and Josephine and many more and seeing Sylvie's character change and grow throughout the story! The author does not shy away from the dark events that took place during this time period nor does she shy away from the beauty and hope that develops in Sylvie's life and both of those make this book really come to life! Thank you Let's Talk Books and Berkley Books for sharing this fantastic story with us!
