If I can convince any person, girl, woman of any age to read just one book, it would be this one!
This book was breath-taking, hilarious, quirky, beautifully written and so powerful.
It’s a witty coming of age novel about two very different girls working together and falling in love, they also figure out who they are separately and together, along the way.
Gwen is a blacksmiths daughter and has always wanted to be a knight, Isobelle doesn’t want to be trapped in marriage to the winner of a jousting tournament, so they hatch a plan to work together to get what they both want.
The sisterhood was absolutely everything, watching all the different women come together and help each other, literally had me sobbing with how powerful and beautiful it was.
The romance between Isobelle and Gwen was so refreshing, real and raw, from hidden glances to secret kisses, it was such a delight to see the girls come into their feelings.
‘If someone kisses me, I want it to be because they want to. Because they need to.’
‘I want it to be because they can’t take another second wondering, dreaming about what it would be like’
I know we are getting a book two with Gwen and Isobelle but I’d love the other girls to get their own books! Especially Olivia and Sylvia!
Madam Dupont is a dance instructor with more skills than you would think, she helps train Gwen and she was one of my favourite characters… ‘I work here to strengthen the wills and spines of these young women - not necessarily to carry a sword, but to hold up under the blows and cuts the world wishes to inflict upon them.’
Gwen’s dad was also great, he had me sobbing with my daddy issues wishing that every girl could have a dad just like him.
I can’t wait to see all my favourite characters in book two and see what chaos they cause, or stumble into next!
Please everyone pick up this book, I can’t recommend it enough
