The Glittering Court by Richelle Mead
1.0

Dissappointing and boring all the way through, I just kept waiting for something but this book is full of descriptions of dresses and not much else.
I wanted a badass book, I wanted a heroine I could like, and yet, Adelaide whom I thought was actually called Eloise therefore I never got the jokes when she said the name Lizzie, Beth, and Liz followed her around, well I hated her, she lacked substance, she was flat and dumb and in every way an airheaded girl of nobility, this book would have been fascinating from Mira's point of view or even Tamsin, but all we got was Adelaide running from an arranged marriagr into a competition to get an arranged marriage. Does it sound like Adelaide was smart?? Noooo but everyone and herself felt the need to remark how smart she was. And how pretty, did I say everyone thought she was a fucking special snowflake of perfection inside and out?

I hated this book. Not for me, not for anyone over 15, and if you are under fifteen you would have to like your characters one-sided and very egocentric.
