Amy's Reviews > Mistress of the Sun

4 stars, by Sandra Gulland. This book is the sister companion to The Shadow Queen, and I honestly loved them both. I am a great lover of historical fiction, and this one was no exception. It was a delight through and through. I wish I had reviewed it before reading Queen of the Night, as they are now getting conflated together. But as this is my first time posting reviews on Goodreads, I am now going for the last 5 or 6, and that is a shame. Particularly for this book. I remember parts of it that shine, including the main characters' love, pure love for Louis VIIi (?). I am now recalling it - the white stallion, the neglecting mother, the jousting brother, her station in the place, the children, the losses, the bone curse. I love books with a little bit of magic and fate entwined, and this one captivated through and through. Great Shelfari recommendation, now followed through on Goodreads.
