Title: Very Disappointing
Product review: I bought this book last week based on the positive reviews written here but was I ever disappointed. Yes, the front and back cover art is cheesy but so is everything in between it. The plot is ridiculous. The love story is creepy. (Falling in love with one's foster brother/sister is not sexy!!). The main characters are sappy and weak, especially the female protagonist, Honneure, who cries and faints throughout the whole book. As for the historical details regarding Versailles and The Terror they are nothing special when compared to more detailed works like "Forever Amber" or "The Many Lives and Secret Sorrows of Josephine B." by Susan Gulland. I don't recommend you make the same mistake I did and buy this book. If you want to read it get it from the library and at least that way you'll only be wasting your time instead of your money.
