Absolutely amazing! I finished this novel a couple of days ago and still cannot stop thinking of the characters...Andi, the senior in high school whose guilt over her brother's death is crippling her; Louis-Charles, the little prince secluded and tortured in a tower; and Alexandrine, the hero who is determined to save them both.

The connections between the 21st and 18th centuries are incredible, and I couldn't put this down. Donnelly doesn't disappoint. Her knowledge of the French Revolution is not only vast, but she tells it in a way that is so interesting!
