The Traitor's Kiss (The Traitor's Circle #1)
With a sharp tongue and an unruly temper, Sage Fowler is not what they’d call a lady―which is perfectly fine with her. Deemed unfit for marriage, Sage is apprenticed to a matchmaker and tasked with wrangling other young ladies to be married off for political alliances. She spies on the girls―and on the soldiers escorting them.
As the girls' military escort senses a political uprising, Sage is recruited by a handsome soldier to infiltrate the enemy ranks. The more she discovers as a spy, the less certain she becomes about whom to trust―and Sage becomes caught in a dangerous balancing act that will determine the fate of her kingdom.
The Traitor's Kiss has a captivating story line, a fearless main character and enough action to keep you reading until the AM.Yes, I know this book is getting a ton of backlash from many reviewers for offending POC (more about this later in my review). While I don't support this at all, taking colour out of the story, this book was actually really good. The main character is very relatable, and she's the type of independent and tough character that I absolutely love, the romance is ship-worthy
The Traitor's Kiss was easily one of my most anticipated releases of 2017. Pitched as Jane Austen with an espionage twist, this book delivers just that and more. Fans of Jane Austen and "The Kiss of Deception" by Mary E. Pearson will likely enjoy this book too! I'd like to start by addressing the fact that this book's early stages of branding were rocky... Comparing this book to Mulan in a pitch is a bold statement to make. Especially when this book is decidedly very different from Mulan. I see

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A MULAN RETELLING. I REPEAT, NOT A MULAN RETELLING. Besides, China wasn't the ONLY time and place they did matchmaking, so yeah. but still worth the read. and one last thing: this was TRULY worth staying up past 3am and finishing it along withe the audiobook on overdrive and agh! I WANT MORE! and now I have a book hangover.... but on the bright side... 3 books finished in less than a week of each other!! shock!! ONTO THE REVIEW:I'm trying to stay awake at the moment haha
Was the plot twist supposed to be surprising??The Traitor's Kiss had such a cool premise! I really liked the idea of our heroine, Sage, assisting the matchmaker by posing as a fake option for suitors to give them a false choice and ultimately get them to choose the woman the matchmaker had decided. I thought this sounded so cool and was excited to see women utilizing what powers they had in this fictional, chauvinistic society to create power. However, this is not at all what happened. I don't

Full Review 4.5ooh, I enjoyed this.I can see the comparison to Mulan but it's mostly different. The only part of Mulan that reminded me of this was the whole "please bring honor to us all" with the matchmaker. I enjoyed the plot especially since the main character wasn't a warrior like your typical YA books, but instead, it was her intelligence that made powerful. She was able to figure important things out before anyone else. This book focused on how matchmaking can be used as tools of war.
