This was one of the books I got in my latest bookstore haul (they had a sale on). I've read a Celestine book before and enjoyed it, so looking forward to trying this one!

What a great comfort read! Wearing the Lion had grief, redemption, and the most unusual found family I have ever seen. It also had some great humorous moments, especially from Hera (snarky queen). All up, an excellent and engaging read!

I got this book as part of a giveaway, and I'm super excited to get stuck in, especially after the great odyssey it took to get to me!

Ohhhhh that was good. It was just the sort of densely historically immersive, intriguingly and opaquely mysterious, beautifully and musingly poetic sort of thing I really needed after lots of quick, fun reads. Just as excellent as I'd expected it to be.

It's been on my list for a while, and I've heard so many good things about it! Time to give it a crack.

I was home sick today, so figured it was the perfect time for a cosy new murder mystery. It's heaps of fun! More international running around than the Thursday Murder Club, but just as much cute character work. Looking forward to future books!

I thoroughly enjoy the way that Walters takes the politics of the Stuart period and brings them to life. Her protagonists do have a tendency to feel very modern in their values, but otherwise I really enjoy the stories and characters.

My wife bought this as a gift for me because I have rather enjoyed Walters' historical fiction in the past, including the book that this is sequel to. I was excited to crack in, knowing I was in for good quality. (And, so sue me, I'm always a sucker for 17th century England.) I then proceeded to read about half the book in one go. Well done me!

Ahhhhh, I love this series so much, and I am very sad that I have run out of new stories.
