Story

A romp

Ms. Caruso has written this first in a series with complexity or characters and simplicity of the plot. The world-building of the castle with expected secret passages surrounded by woods supports the sometimes-challenging trip into politics. Most of all, I was kept listening as one crisis would still be going while another began. If you’re looking for a book that will keep you rushing toward the next chapter, this is it.
