The Court of Miracles by Kester Grant
4.0

The Good:
The Court of Miracles was by far my favorite part. I'm a sucker for organized crime and put it in 1800's Paris, I'm sold. I loved the careful navigating required to prevent a war and the bending of the Law to suit a purpose. I was most intrigued by the Assassins Guild naturally and would have loved to have seen more of them.

The Not So Good:
Things seemed a little too easy for Nina all the time for my taste. Whether or not she'll be successful isn't ever called into question. I didn't particularly care for the big jump in time either. A lot seemed to happen in that time that left some character development to be desired.

With tweaks, this has the potential to be a 4.5+ star book and I'll definitely read the sequel!

Thanks so much to Netgalley and the publisher for the e-arc.
