angstypi 's review for:
Belle Révolte
by Linsey Miller
Thanks to Netgalley for providing me a free copy to review!
Emilie and Annette come from two different worlds. Emilie, a rebel from an aristocrat family that wants to study the masculine side of magic and become a physician, swaps lives with the talented but overlooked Annette. Annette attends a prestigious boarding school under Emilie's name to study the midnight arts while Emilie rides to the front lines of a war in the name of medicine and magic.
Overall, the princess and pauper idea was well placed and had good intentions, but the characters fell completely flat and bored me. I found myself waiting for interesting side characters to liven up the story. The magic descriptions seem all over the place and generic while settings were blown over. I loved the idea, but this didn't really do it for me.
2.5, rounded to 3 stars for trying something new.
