I love Anna Godbersen's work, that she's so dedicated to historical fiction. I think well done historical fiction is absolutely the best way to learn about the social environments of different eras, and it's so much more fun than taking notes on a textbook. I also applaud the fact she didn't just repeat the plot of The Luxe series in a different time period, because she could have easily done that (except for the Jillian Larkin decided to do it with The Vixens, so if you are looking for something exactly like The Luxe but in the 1920's, go check those out). I really admire Cordelia as a person. She has a lot of self-worth and is willing to work hard to honor her father, though she can take a step back and relax as well. I also really like her dynamic with Max, because she's learning a lot about two very different worlds. Watching Letty rise to stardom is so nerve-wracking, I absolutely want her to succeed. Obviously there's no way to actually judge how talented she is seeing as how you can't really hear books, but I'm sure she's got that unnameable star quality. I feel like hers is the story which has the most ups and downs. I want to give Astrid a good shake. You're engaged to a BOOTLEGGER, of COURSE you're going to need to be really careful about where you go and with whom! Sometimes the richer characters are the less common sense they have, oy. I can't wait to see what happens in the next installment, there's lots of happy endings that just happened so everything is about to get shot to hell.
i had to read it for my socrates colloquium class in grad school but i found it to be very appealing. i actually cried at one point- i was enthralled by a romance between two greek male soldiers. a sort of brokeback olympian mountain.
