Well this was a monumental disappointment of a book. Simply put: you've read this book before. I've read this book before. Anyone who has read a fiction book has read this book before. Despite the concept of poisoning King Louis around the time of the revolution, this book is very basic. The main female is into alchemy but spends 99% of the book swooning or being the most sense human imaginable. It's the least memorable book possible in 2019. It's not bad. It's just been done before and to ABSOLUTE DEATH! If we're gonna rehash this "timid girl in revolution split between family and royalty only to be betrayed by everyone except one dude who she immediately gets a crush on," make them likeable or memorable and for the love of ALL THAT IS HOLY, STOP HAVING NARRATORS GASP IN THE STUPID FEMALE TIMID VOICE. It's infuriating and makes your character seem small and timid. On top of that, even I...who am blind to most betrayals, saw everything in this coming from a damn mile away.
