A review by classiccaitlin
The Red Queen's Daughter by Jacqueline Kolosov

4.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. I would give it 4 and a half stars if I could! I liked how the author imagined a life for Mary Seymour, who presumably died when she was only 2 years old. The way the author included magic into the novel was very mature, nothing kid-ish. Her use of language was exquisite, she definitely has a way with words. The second half of the book really kept me on my feet, eager to read more and find out what happens. Maybe the author could've delved a bit more into the psyche of the characters but honestly, she did a great job in any case.

I recommend this book for people who like historical fiction and who like a bit of magic in their novels. The magic included in this one is a lot less fantastical than in other novels but it's still captivating. I think the author did a marvelous job with this novel.
