The Betrayal of the Blood Lily by Lauren Willig
4.0
4.5 stars
I'm shocked. I'm remembering Blood Lily as my second-to-least favorite the first read through, but this time it's skyrocketed all the way up to #3 in terms of rankings. Not sure what's different now, but I absolutely loved the setting, Anglo-Indian politicking, and main character. Couldn't put it down.
