The Glittering Court by Richelle Mead Book Review

Image
The Glittering Court belongs to the Glittering Court trilogy. Each book is a stand-alone  historical fiction- fantasy novel. However in order to have a whole idea of the plot and its characters you have to read all three. The Glittering Court was published last year and the second book, Midnight Jewel comes out on May 1st (according to bookdepository as to this moment!)

This was the best book I read for the month of February! I really feel bad that this book was sitting on my shelf for almost a year before I decided to read it last month, in order to get ready for the sequel... THAT much I loved it! This is the first book of a duology, the second being published May 16th. I have heard some rumors about June...but I really want to believe it will come out in May!!!

Cousin's War #5 - The White Princess by Philippa Gregory

Image
The White Queen is the fifth book in The Cousins' War series or The Plantagenet and Tudor Novels as newly listed, as of August 2016, by Philippa Gregory. You don't need to read the rest of the books before reading The White Princess but I would recommend it if you want to know the background before this novel.
