![]() ![]() Well in this case let me tell you that I really enjoyed reading from Reed’s POV. It’s only that I can relate more to female characters. ![]() I’m not a huge fan of reading from a male’s perspective and it’s not because I don’t like the male characters. Not only did we get a good book but we also got to read from Reed’s perspective and that was so cool. The cliffhanger definitely leaves you craving for more but it’s all worth it because the sequel Broken Prince gave me everything I wanted. I loved the story line and the writing style was very very addictive. So… Where do I even begin?Paper Princess (book 1) was one of my favourite books this year even though I had a few issues with Reed. ![]()

But the Maxie family barely has time to contend with her wily ways-on the following morning the whole village is shocked by the discovery of Sally Jupp's body. Sally has quite a reputation as a ruthless social climber, and no one at Martingale seems too happy about the engagement.

This book is ideal for multitaskers who would like to laugh and learn at the same time. Lots of history here, between the laughs. These personages took part in real historical events: the Renaissance, the French Revolution, the Petticoat War, the Dreadful Decade, the porkless Thursdays of World War I. Is there a more entertaining way to learn history? This is nonfiction, fact-based satire. To understand them is to understand the world they created. Because historical personages were real people, as nutty as the rest of us.
