I found Ellie's character wavering, losing its initial bookishness and interest in learning.

Overall, a well written and absolutely beautiful historical where love overcomes the odds. The narration and descriptions were so relevant to the time period and I loved it.

I did not like the stuff towards the end at Ellie's uncle's house. I also did not like that we skipped most of it and that it took so long before someone did something about it.

Although on the surface it sounds like a cliché romance novel, The Other Countess is a sparkling new debut novel.

All this adds up to a lighthearted and pleasing read: A 16th century rom-com, you could say.

I enjoyed this. Though it’s young adult it didn’t really seem like one, and that’s a good thing.

They remind me a lot of the Darling family in Peter Pan. Chaotic and adorable.

An enchanting novel. Will and Eve will most definitely take the place of Bella and Edward in a great many hearts.
