I read this book over a month ago and I still cannot get over how absolutely amazing this book was! In the review on the back of my book Midnight Maiden was described as, "The Selection's political intrigue and heart-pounding romance meets Throne of Glass's cutthroat justice" and I couldn't agree more! I loved both of those famous series and I loved this book (and its sequel) just as much if not more! There really are not enough words to describe how much I adore this series. The writing style was just perfect and a fantastic fit for the suspenseful, romantic, daring, story that Kathryn Marie spins wonderfully. Christiana was a stunning character that was strong in a way women aren't often portrayed in many novels, she was a fighter but knew when to lean on others for support. I also really appreciated the dedication Marie had to showing that abuse affects people long after it ends which is also not a very common narrative in novels (not to say that it doesn't exist). I don't want to go into too much detail and risk spoiling the book but I would just like to say that Midnight Maiden is in my Top 3 Favorite Books of All Time. Thank you Katheryn Marie for writing such a compelling narrative and I can't wait to see what you have in store for your readers next! Lots of love!!
