Title: So dissapointing
Product review: As someone who enjoys historical fiction, I was looking forward to this book. I ended up being very dissapointed, and had to force myself to finish it. The plot is ridiculous and doesn't really flow well throughout the book. The characters aren't developed well, and seem to do things which technically go against their character, for example (**SPOILERS**), Emilie, in the beginning of the book, manipulates Charpentier to get her way, but yet her whole time at court maintains her 'innocence' (wouldn't someone with a manipulative streak use that to her advantage?). The maid's every move is motivated by revenge for most of the book, but she suddenly changes her mind?? and the placement of the disfigured servant at the end is a little too obvious (**END SPOILERS**). I've read 'bodice-rippers' disguised as historical fiction with better character development and plotlines. If you really want to read it, I suggest getting it from the library.
