The Kingdom Of Back Review

To be honest I don't really read book descriptions, ive seen this book for what seems like a year (and might have been lmao) in giveaways, I saw it on libby and snagged it immediately!! I really wanted to read this book originally due to the name, genres and amazingly awesome cover and then I started it and LOVED IT!!! I grew up in a family that loved music so this was really a book up my ally and to find out the history behind it in the end?!?! amazing. This is hands down going to be one of the best books I will read this year, I already know it lol but its so great I don't mind, I can just read it again. I really loved everything about this book, the characters are amazing, this historical accuracy again, amazing, the world this book painted just fantastic and magical. must own book imo.

Mozart's sister reimagined

Marie Lu, known for her fantasy and science fiction has created a well-written and imaginative story about the childhood of the Mozart siblings. Wolfgang Mozart had an older sister nicknamed Nannerl, and together they imagined a fantasy land called the Kingdom of Back. Nannerl, like her brother, is a enormous talent in terms of playing and composing music, but it is 18th century Europe and women are not allowed to openly compose or have musical careers. Her greatest wish is to be remembered forever. Enter Hyacinthe, a faerie prince from the Kingdom of Back, who offers to make Nannerl's wish a reality, if she will complete a series of tasks for him. At first Nannerl is enthusiastic as she follows his wishes, but soon realizes that there is a sinister price that comes with Hyacinthe's demands. She realizes she must rethink her priorities. A big theme is this novel is the constraints that were placed on women in this time and it made me wonder how many talented women throughout history were unable to pursue their dreams. Four and a half stars.
