amylandranch 's review for:
The Glittering Court
by Richelle Mead
It felt like a cross between the Selection and the show The Bachelor and I did not enjoy it as much as teens might. The idea of the glittering court is to give beautiful ladies a chance to learn skills that would make them desirable for rich men in a new land. The world building and religions in the book made for some tangents and I didn't feel invested in the world or the characters. A rich heiress decides to join the glittering court and find her own way in life instead of being forced into a marriage. Along the way she finds romance, friends, and trouble. There is some talk of intimacy but it is not racy by any means. It had potential and I can see teens liking it, especially the ladies who like romance.
