Three and a Half Stars
Now this was one fun book to read! Liza is such a great character!
This book takes place in England, in 1836. Liza is a lady, but when both her parents die inexpertly in a carriage crash, she is left a orphan. She has to find a way to make her own in the world, but her parents left her with money debts with many people. Liza finds a place as a maid to the princess, and also finds out that things are not as they seem.
What's so great about it?
Hands down, the plot. Figuring out what was happening, that was amazing. And then waiting for everything to resolve, I was just like, "Come on Liza!!! Yeah! You can do it!" I would definitely recommend this book. To just about anybody, it was such a fun read.
I loved the characters. When a villain makes me want to smack them, to just yell in their face, I know the character is good. There were more than a couple of characters in this book that made me react like that. And sometimes it was very hard to tell with a few characters: were they on Liza's side?
The character development was very good also. Many of the characters changed throughout the book drastically, but it was very plausible.
The romance = Very cute!
What's not so great about it?
There weren't that many things that I didn't like about this book, overall I enjoyed it.
