I have always liked Richelle Mead's writting and her unique storylines, so you can imagine my excitement when I herd that she is going to write new series. I immediately preordered it even though I didn't know much about it.
The Glittering court is first book in new companion novel series by Richelle Mead.
This story is a bit different from Richelle's other books. It doesn't follow vampires or any other creature with special abilities, Here our main character is Adelaide, countess, who is not pleased with her life, Everything is decided for her, its like she doesn't exist. At first she was used to living like that, but after her grandmother arranged marriage, she decides to speak up. But again she can't do anything about it. When she gets a chance to disguise herself as her servant and go to Glittering court, she doesn't think for a second. There she gets a chance to go to new land, Adoria, and marry to some rich man she chooses. But she will be drown to someone she shouldn't, someone with a secret of his own...
The Glittering court is kind of school for girls from poor districts to learn how to behave like royality: how to cook, dance, plan parties... Naturally Adelaide is very good in all tasks, because she grow up doing them. But no one can know who she actually is, so she has one more problem. She must not be best, or they will discover her secret.
I really enjoyed this book. It had well-known Richelle's writting we all love. The characters were well developed and loveable. I kept thinking about them even after finishing book. They just stuck with me. Romance was also on point. It was so cute and powerful at the same time. I also enjoy the idea of Glittering court. It gave story an unique aspect.
On the other had, there were some parts that I was disappointed about. Through whole story we know that Adelaide's two best friends have secrets, but we don't get even a hint what they are. They seem to have big part of story, so i wish author gave us some clue to what they are all about,
After all I really enjoyed reading this book. It was really entertaining and kept me on the edge of the seat. If you think this is your cup of tea, you should definitely check it out, you will not be disappointed, I gave it 4.5/5 stars on goodreads.
I hope you are having nice week,
See you soon :)
