Love and Honor By: Randall Wallace
I ended up giving this book 3 stars. I had a hard time with figuring out what I wanted to rate it. Friends told me this book was about the American Revolutionary, but it wasn’t and that almost affected my rating. There was other reason for this just ok rating. This story was ok for a historical but boy the author needed to do a little research before using this subject. He used real people in history but put them in the wrong time period. I know this book is mostly fiction, but it really bothered me and took me out of the story.

I gave this book 4 stars. I finally got around to reading it. I really had a great time reading this book. The struggles and triumphs were great. Rin aces the Keju, a wide test to find the most talented youth to study at the academics. She isn’t received well because of her background. She has a lot to prove.

I gave this book 3 stars. Evie is the only one able to work to support her family, so she needs a job ASAP. The most infamous villain in the area offers her a job and she says yes. As she gets use to things (weird things) happen she discover there might be a spy in the office. Who is it and why are they there.
