pickThis one sneaks up on you! Starts out a little slow as an expertly researched historical YA following a young girl living in medieval Wales. Gets much darker and more interesting as we start seeing the story from a Welsh servant‘s point of view, and experience the violence/dysfunction of English colonial rule in Wales. Kept me up way past my bedtime!
pickI read way past my bedtime again. I picked up this YA historical fiction book on a whim. It started slow and felt like a middle grade book until it suddenly was not. I was thinking about bailing but I hated one of the main characters so deeply that I couldn't put it down. I just wanted her to stop being awful. I got sucked in. It was unexpected and wonderful.
pickSuperior YA, expertly researched. Moving story that doesn't tip over into sentimentality. 10/10 would read again and I did!
