The Court Charade by Flore Vesco
3.0
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I will start with the art style of the book which consists of a pretty watercolor style of illustrations in neat layouts. While the book has simple illustrations for the characters, it is also rich in detail capturing palace life in its essence.
The story is a fun ride in the life of Serine a vibrant girl who decides to become lady-in-waiting to a queen to support her family. From then on, it's a chaotic unravel of the many plots and schemes going on inside the palace and how Serine through her shenanigans makes a place for herself in the palace. I found the plot engaging and easy to keep up with. It's a lighthearted book full of jokes, wordplays and rhymes. The book would be mostly suited to young adults and above.
