⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Review: I LOVED this book. I have never read anything about Spain during this time, and I learned so much. It felt so real, and each time I picked up the book I was transported back in time. I have never read anything like this. I would highly recommend this book to any historical fiction lover.
