"At its most basic level, it's a history book, but written so well as to keep me intrigued; overall this was a pretty quick read. The human elements of royalty play a major part in the first third of the book -- I grew to admire the royal Bourbon family. Most of the history I've learned of the French Revolution was from the perspectives of the revolutionaries. This book countered that, and proved again that there is always another side to the story. I was disappointed with what seemed like a very abrupt ending. It seemed as though the author didn't venture much into her theory that Marie-Thérèse was or was not the "Dark Countess", and that the fluidity of the story was lost during the last third of the book. (wishing there was a half-star option i'd actually give it 3.5 stars.)"
