Haha. I'm actually quite curious now!Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16145694506807666964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3608666023554540476.post-27878485397535736342011-01-22T11:10:58.325-06:002011-01-22T11:10:58.325-06:00I would not have thought of reading a book set dur...I would not have thought of reading a book set during this time period, either. It sounds like a great way to learn more about a period I know nothing about, though, so on my TBR pile it goes.

So glad you enjoyed it! :) I have an interview with Dori on my blog, as well as a giveaway, if you want to check it out.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18414324160166322024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3608666023554540476.post-3409752434277959512011-01-22T06:24:26.466-06:002011-01-22T06:24:26.466-06:00Too Too funny!

I am very impressed with your high praise of this book and will must assuredly be adding it to my list for the YA Historical Challenge. Thanks for making me laugh!Jan von Harzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01911676835023825470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3608666023554540476.post-57359229419043819112011-01-21T15:58:21.247-06:002011-01-21T15:58:21.247-06:00THIS is why I adore historical fiction.

I don't know a whole lot about different eras, I'm not good with dates, etc. Regardless, I'm always fascinated with the dealings of this whole other world that I know nothing about, and by the end of the novel it's as though I've just come out of a really entertaining and informative history lesson. <br /><br />Hopefully the ARC reaches me soon!Casshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07568646164849243366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3608666023554540476.post-33653590148679316952011-01-21T15:04:26.659-06:002011-01-21T15:04:26.659-06:00I have been equally hesitant about reading this bo...I have been equally hesitant about reading this book, and for much the same reasons.

Well, after reading your review I feel like I might have to give it a try. So thanks for the review :)StefanieEmmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03267649708292658420noreply@blogger.com
