What an epic book! Starting with the narrator giving quite an intro and then the book completely jumps into the childhood of a princess who we all come to find out quickly will be influential in her country's future. France is literally balancing on her shoulders.

First, let me rave about how I loved the narrator and it was fantastic to read a book from this period from the perspective of a close maid who even spent nights in the Princess' rooms. She had a unique perspective and she was able to use the Princess' unmailed letters to fill in the story - genius. Of course there was drama, but there was also some fantastically intense scenes that just kept the book moving along and along.
