The story about ancient history is interesting. Susanna's lack of love for men is really intriguing. I want to know how her father feels for having an untamed daughter like her. Thanks for the review!

At the end of reading, always expect to learn a few things and blending all the themes could not be more better. Thanks for the review.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting historical fiction following a young spinster who meets two men that will throw her life and the kingdom through a loop. Hopefully, her life will once again become peaceful. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

The theme of this historical fiction is rebellion in England, and the characterization of the rebels seems in perfect form.

I think what I most like about this book is that it is trying to cover many themes. Like it has romance as well, it has some historical aspect to it as well. I would like to read this book. Thanks for the review.

This historical fiction book brings the theme of rebellion in England with a lot of different characters, a bit of romance. Besides, Susanna Mandeville seems to be an interesting woman with a strong personality. Congrats on BOTD to the author! Thanks for the review!

A historical fiction novel with themes of love, romance, and English rebellion, and a cast of compelling and memorable characters. Mirrored Sword seems like an intriguing read. Thanks for sharing.

Already the book seems pretty interesting though I haven't read it yet. I could even say it speaks a little about societal happenings, like susanna being misjudged as being untamed because of her attitude toward men without her reason (s) being known. It's a pretty good teaser, definitely a must read for me.

Thank you for your exciting review. The characters did seem very intriguing just from reading a sample of the book and your review explained so much more. For that, I have decided to add this book to my list of books to read.

Wow, your review is quite good and detailed. I don't know if this novel was based on Edwardian era or still Victorian. But I think a novel that sets in British kingdom is always engaging. A woman who has a dream to be a royal dancer, I can feel that this story is romantic also.

Susanna's character seems dark. Her father's feelings are relatable. I might have to skip this book as I'm not a fan of historical fiction. Thanks for the review. Congrats on the BOTD!
