It's a magical world and for someone who has Kat's background, it seems to be the answer to all of her prayers. As Kat gets swept up in life in Elizabeth's court, the reader gets swept up right along with her. Kat is an incredibly vivid character and the book is written in such a way that you really get inside her head and live the events right along with her. This book is beautifully written and captured me from the very first page. I love the novels of Philippa Gregory and Jean Plaidy, and I believe this book from Suzanne Crowley deserves a spot amongst these greats of the genre. I love historical fiction, especially historical fiction that is set during Elizabethan time. She will discover what Grace would never tell her.
