This was an excellent YA book. It's the story of the royal family of the Byzantine empire, as told by a young girl who was once groomed to be Empress, and then denied the throne.

I really liked the characters, especially the main character, Anna, who seemed to be a strong, intelligent girl. The palace intrigue drove the plot, and made the book hard to put down.

This book was very well-written. I highly recommend it, especially for girls of about the ages 11 - 16 or so.

This is a substantive, yet very fast read.

Reserved for Pok Pok's niece.

I missed giving this to PokPok for her niece the other day, but PokPok mentioned that she now has plenty of books. This one is now reserved for a book relay. (But if I ever find another copy, or if this doesn't get accepted it will go to PokPok's niece.)

I know only a little about the historical Anna and have read an excerpt from her Alexiad. This book was a nice fictional take on her life that I enjoyed reading.
