Cinder and Thorne and looking for princess Selene ,
and Scarlet's Grandmother has some information for her. I did enjoy
seeing the chapters in different views of Cinder & scarlet. I did
enjoy this book much more than what I expected. I found that i enjoyed
this more than Cinder. I am so excited to read the next book in this
series. Thorne was funny and hoping for a love connection for him. It
was great to see Kai and

Strands of Bronze and Gold Book Review
Sophie is taken into the home of her godfather's house . There she
experiences wealth and the finer things in life. Her siblings are doing
okay but they are struggling. She is only friends with the servants.
Her godfather Monsieur Bernard de Cressac is interested in her romantically , and he has been married 4 other times.
Sophie
likes to go for walks in the forest. She meets Gideon who is a
preacher , and has had a run in with Monsieur de Cressac dog. He is a
good friend , and also interested in her too. Bernard is able to help
Sophie's family financially, and he proposes marriage to her. Sophie is
at a crossroad , and she knows that Bernard has a temper. She is also
seeing and hearing the other wives. Bernard is wonderful man , and cares
deeply , but he can also be very controlling with his wishes.
This
was a wonderful retelling of Blue Beard. I have always had a thing for
smart criminals ie Jigsaw. This is also a psychological thriller
because all of this takes place on the property. Sophie wants to solve
the mystery , and she cares for the slave movement. This book was richly
detailed in descriptions of rooms, and food.
