This is my favorite Kiersten White book to date. I absolutely loved the characters, setting, and plot. It was all just so wonderful. I have come to love books set in historical Europe or someplace of the sort, and this book was no exception. The stage was perfectly set and adeptly described. I figured out one of the twists, but the other caught me completely of guard and I loved it. And the characters! Jessamin was a strong, admirable main character. And Finn was the perfect companion protecting her when necessary but never hindering her from what she believed was the right thing to do. And Sir Bird was just wonderful. In all, this was simply an amazing book.
