What I loved about this story...
Wow! Historical fiction is fast becoming one of my favourite genres. I loved this book. What I loved the most about this book was the fact that real life historical facts are in this book as well as fiction so there were certain parts that I recognised.
I also loved the story of Maria, from when she started off in the orphanage and getting picked to be part of the seamstress team for the Royal Palace to later on in life. There is so much to discover in this book, so many secrets and I loved finding out each and every one. There were a couple of surprses along the way too!
What I was not fond of with this story...
Absolutely loved this book, there was nothing I did not like about it...
