The Stolen One by Suzanne Crowley

*The following words on this webpage is an honest review*

Synopsis
Welcome to the 1500s where witches are burned and court girls are vying for the attention of Queen Elizabeth I.

All Kat wants is to escape her dead end village and the magic that haunts her. Of course that would be much easier if she was to never to marry; her time unmarried, dwindles and her freedom is limited. It should come as no surprise that before long she takes the first opportunity to escape. When doing so she takes along her deaf sister Grace and finds comfort in the palace after grabbing the attention of the queen with her sewing skills. In doing so she leaves behind her best friend Christian who only wants to marry her.

Opinion
I will be the first one who will admit that some things were predictable and others were undetectable. In the meantime you were given clues in the form of diary entries so you can try to figure out the story before Kat does. The Stolen One was a wonderful mix of the past and present (or at least for the time period present) that gave you a sense of purpose and commitment. When Kat cheered, you cheered, and when Kat mourned, you mourned right beside her and shed an extra tear you weren’t expecting.

Rating
4 out of 5 stars. This time a $3 dollar book was good, at least that’s something.
