Title: Court of Miracles Author: Kester Grant Age group: YA Genre: Historical fantasy fiction DNF'd? No Release date: Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Trigger Warnings: Human trafficking, prostitution, domestic violence I would like to thank Kester Grant, Netgalley, and Penguin Random House for sending me a free eARC in exchange for my honest review. This is a retelling of Hugo Grant's Les Miserablés, but with racially diverse characters. I've never read Les Mis (I've put it on my TBR after I received this ARC) but you don't need to read that before getting into this! Grant kept me engaged throughout this story, didn't overload on French words, and kept her protagonist's goal in mind instead of veering offtrack into romance (which is all too common in YA)! I'm not sure whether this is supposed to be in an alternate-world Paris, but whether the reader is in a fantasy world, alternative reality world, or this world, one thing remains the same: men are afraid to step up when women's lives are at risk. Eponine (Nina) knows the leaders of each House are supposed to uphold the laws of the Court but doesn't understand why they're afraid to do so until she discovers corruption is rampant under the House of the Tiger. What follows is her goal to take down "The Tiger" and rid his house of prostitution and trafficking, completely unfazed by attractive men and leaders who are afraid to risk the Tiger's wrath. The fierce characters of color are a refreshing insertion into a White Euro-centric story, and Nina's fight to keep the women within The Court safe at all costs is inspirational! My only complaint is Nina's plan doesn't have any shortfalls, nor does she have a hard time completing her task that are supposed to be extremely dangerous, but other than Grant's story is excellent!
