I found the review very interesting without spoiling for readers. I don't like love triangle despite I like how independent the main character is. Great review 👏 👌 👍!!

I love historical fiction with a believably rebellious heroine. If this is historically accurate, at least enough to make it believable, then I might check this book out. Thank you for the helpful review.

I'm looking forward to the character of Susanna who sounds like a very eccentric individual since she can't be tamed by anyone.

Susanna's hotheadedness doesn't suit her as a last. I hope she will get to join the dance. Thanks for the review.

Mirrored Sword Part One by Allan Hands is a historical fiction book that portrays rebellion in England. Susanna is one of the main characters; a beautiful and charming young lady who hates. Her father wants her to marry but this proves to be difficult considering how she hated the opposite gender. What happened to Susanna that made her hate men so much?

This is a historical fiction novel that follows a promising character named Susanna. She is rebellious and she does not follow the conventions during her time. A historical fiction novel with a bit of romance is definitely my cup of tea. Congrats on botd!

History has a lot of lessons for us today and the author in Mirrored swords has succinctly depicted some of these. This would be an intriguing read indeed. Thanks for your review.

Thank you for sharing your review with us. I’m not currently keen on reading about rebellions in historical fiction, so I think I will have to pass on this one.

I guess I will enjoy revisiting the past and to see what eventually became of the rebellion. It seems Susanna Mandeville has much to go through before she gets her dream royal dance. Thanks for the review.
