It's interesting learning the history about the jewelry. When I re-read the book some day, I'll enjoy it all the more because of your post.

She really is a fascinating person!

Usually I just read romance novels for fun, but the thing about the jewelry in YSW stood out to me for some reason. It is nice when a book is enjoyable to read and has some substance to it at the same time. Kimber An--That book sounds like it's right up my alley! I love YA books, too, especially fantasy novels. Thanks for the recommendation. :) Kimber Chin and StephB–Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

It's a Fantasy Historical with a romantic sub-plot, which is something I'm totally getting into these days. The Heroine is an undercover sorceress in training and she studies and uses jewels a lot in her line of work. Made for very fun reading. And if you're a reader who can do without graphic sex scenes, you'll be safe with this one because it's Young Adult. Even so, it was wonderfully engaging for me and I haven't been a young adult in over a decade now. :wink: I recently read and reviewed a novel, THE RED QUEEN’S DAUGHTER by Jacqueline Kolosov.

I love the different layers that can be found in romance novels. Me, I tend to read at a very shallow level for pure entertainment. Kind of like not noticing the use of red in the movie The Sixth Sense. Doesn't matter. The novels still work even then. Then someone, like you, a deeper reader, points out the other meanings and wow, simply wow. REALLY enjoyed this post. Very, very interesting.
