![]() ![]() Annie was a strong and fierce protagonist who knew what she wanted. ![]() I thoroughly enjoyed each of the characters that Annie met on her adventurous journey. I really felt like I was in a past London and aboard the Realm myself. While on board, Annie must keep her secret-if anyone found out she's a girl, her life on the Realm would be short-lived. They come up with the idea to make Annie appear to be a boy and she travels to London to become the cabin boy for Captain Hawke on a merchant ship called the Realm. But after her uncle dies in a tragic accident, Aunt Mary blames Annie and she is forced to flee with the help of her cousin Erik. The story follows Annie Moore who has been under her Aunt Mary's care since her family's death eight years ago and is working as a maid and companion for a girl named Abigail Spencer. I have really begun to enjoy reading historical fiction and Secrets of the Realm was no exception for me. After reading the promising premise and an excerpt from goodreads, I was hooked and knew I had to accept the request. You know the whole "don't judge a book by its cover" rule? This is one of those instances where you definitely shouldn't. ![]() When I was first asked to review this book, I was a little hesitant and I'll have to admit that my hesitation came from the cover. Secrets of the Realm was such a pleasant surprise for me. *a copy was provided by the author for review purposes* ![]()
