Well this was freaking delightful! Historical fiction is hit or miss for me - there's a thin line between interesting and "this literally could have been set in modern times." Ana Maria and the Fox is definitely in the former group! The actual history woven into the story was fascinating to me. The characters are strong and witty and brave and joyous. I loved the depictions of the balls and how Ana Maria refused to dull her sparkle to fit in with British aristocracy. I love the pining. Ugh this was just so good! Can't wait for the next one!
