The Glittering Court

"Southern charm meets My Fair Lady [...] romantics will love this book." -School Library Connection, starred review "With a full cast of bold and original characters, Mead does a superb job of building a world that teens will be excited to enter into and disappointed to leave. The plot is intricately woven, and the ending promises future installments from other characters' points of view. Brilliant and original, Mead's new series starts off with a bang and will leave readers on the edge of their seats until the very end." -School Library Journal "The emphasis on romance, dresses, and intrigue will appeal to fans of Kiera Cass." -Voice of Youth Advocates "In a refreshing change to the romance formula...there is a strong feminist element in Adelaide's narration, and more than meets the eye in terms of plot, character development, and substantive thought." -Booklist "An enjoyable fish-out-of-water tale that plays gritty frontier adventure against the finery of the Glittering Court." -Publishers Weekly
