(Trade Reviews, Bookshelf) Female-Oriented Fiction Readers, Come In! Read for 30 Minutes Before Reviewing
Looking for something like "Dancing in Lamplight." Palace intrigue and political scheming (like "Dancing in Lamplight"): the female lead battles the palace and then the enemy nation, matching wits with them at every turn. It's absolutely riveting!
