Changing life circumstances
It’s a month to Christmas, and we meet Camille Mussey, sister to the dead Jeanette Mussey who was accused of arson, and is the poorest person in the country of Mount Evor. She is an outcast because of her sister, and a witch. She’s working as a pantomime for pocket change. One of the Royals, Marquess Louis-Philibert de Valois is grandson of the Duke of Arrago, is sent to collect her, and bring her to the ducal estate. This sets up the story that takes place over the Christmas season. Camille’s character isn’t the most likable one in this series, but she is smart. Louis might be a playboy. Unlike the prior books, this one doesn’t involve finding a key, but some loose ends may, or may not, be tied up with this story. I enjoyed reading A Royal for Christmas and am looking forward to the next book. I received this book from BookSirens, and this is my honest opinion.
