Review posted here: [...]The best thing that my College History professor taught me is that history is hiSTORY. Historical facts should be treated as stories for people to better appreciate them rather than bombarding student brains with all these random facts. It should be related to something which connects to us to find how these facts are relative to us as we are now. And I think that Davonna Juroe did just that. By inserting these historical facts into her story, I was able to actually enjoy history at it should be. I also like how she includes some French words or phrases into her writing, which are either a review of something I learned before or new knowledge on the language. I also like her play with words that adds amusement to how the story can be read.Scarlette has a lot of fairytale elements - prince charming, damsel in distress, etc. But it also shows how a young and naive girl turns into a strong heroine. There's a lot to see in this book that would be best read for yourself so I won't discuss further. (Although if you have read it, feel free to discuss with me. Just send me a message! I'd love to hear from you)Ultimately, the story kept me guessing and doubting every other character. I really enjoyed it and I couldn't stop reading until I finished the whole thing, but when I did, I felt like it ended too fast. Despite that, the ending was satisfying. I really loved this book and I recommend that you read it~
