My Review:
Maid of Secrets is
a story full of excitement, mystery and action. I loved this book and I believe
that Jennifer McGowan did a magnificent job in developing the characters and
the relationships in this book. Queen Elizabeth has just taken the throne and
she is faced with people, foreign and close, who wish to see her off the
throne. In order to uncover the truth of what is happening and to keep her
crown safe, she has contracted five maids to be her spies. Meg is employed as
the eyes and ears of the queen and is to report on anything she overhears, but
she is not only responding on the queen, but is asked to spy on her as well. As
Meg goes through her time as a spy she is forced to do things that go against
her conscience, betray her friends, and she falls for an unlikely courtier. I
loved the development of the plot, how the mystery was mixed in and the
excitement of trying to figure out what comes next. The book is lengthy, but
there is never a dull moment. It was nice to have a book so well detailed and
explained that I couldn't put it down until I finished the last page. I also
enjoyed learning the pasts of a few of the maids and to see how it brought them
all together. Maid of Secrets is a
fresh new tale in the young adult literature world and I think it will be met
with a great response!
