Aprilynne Pike

Outside the palace of Versailles, it’s modern day. Inside, the people dress, eat, and act like it’s the eighteenth century—with the added bonus of technology to make court life lavish, privileged, and frivolous. The palace has every indulgence, but for one pretty young thing, it’s about to become a very beautiful prison.

When Danica witnesses an act of murder by the young ...more

Aug 30, 2016 Lola rated it it was ok

Shelves: ridiculous

I have no idea who this book will appeal to. Maybe readers who enjoy fast-paced well-written ridiculous stories?

Because that’s what it is. Ridiculous.

I fell in love with Aprilynne Pike’s ‘‘Wings’’ series, but this is nothing like that beautiful series.

For one, the world-building doesn’t make much sense. So they’re in this make-believe Versailles palace with make-believe gowns and make-believe events, because that’s how the King wants it.

It’s no historical fiction but it isn’t a dystopian book ...more

I was sold at the tagline of "Breaking Bad meets Marie Antoinette", but then I saw the cover and was even more interested. I love the idea of a modern society choosing to live like French society.

I liked Danica well enough. She's not the best person in the world and knows what's she's doing is wrong, but chooses to continue to do it. Yet, I can't find total fault with that. I'm sure I would do the same. She's loyal to her friends, even though it doesn't look like it. Molli and Lord Aaron were ...more

I didn't like the main character. I just couldn't like Danica after all that she did, after every foolish decision. She does some pretty despicable things.

What more could we ask for!

Now if that doesn’t make you twiddle your fingers with delight, then maybe this will! This little gem is set in modern times, but the inhabitants of the palace of Versailles keep tradition. Their fashions, politics, and dialect haven’t changed a bit…except they make have toned the French down a bit in exchange for English. This, my dear readers, is something like you have NEVER read before.

Danica Grayson is trying to buy her way out of Versailles, in the hopes that she won’t be forced to become Queen. Though becoming Queen is a dream for most of the Lady’s residing in Versailles, for Danica, it’s her biggest nightmare. After Danica accidentally witnesses the King murder a young women, her mother blackmails the King into making Danica his betrothed. Now with only months to escape the palace, Danica must find a way to raise 5 million Euros to buy her way out forever. But how? After discovering that her father has a nasty addiction to a street drug that comes in the form of patches, Danica comes up with a brilliant idea and gets herself in touch with his supplier. The drug is called Glitter, and Danica plans to sell it to everyone in the palace of Versailles, in a new cosmetics line. With this highly addictive drug made into shimmering face creams and lip balms, the extravagant women of Versailles begin to spend everything they have in order to be in trend with the fashions and get their fix. But the King is smarter than he looks, and Danica is about to realize that the game she is playing make cost a life or two. She must decide if it really is worth it, to leave the palace of Versailles forever.

“With both of us in our finery and my arm on his, we appear to be a blissful couple headed off to a night of feverish revels—not a jailer escorting his prisoner to her cell in the first blush of sunrise.“

THIS BOOK. IS. AMAZING.

Though this is placed in the palace of Versailles, and has some SERIOUS Marie Antionette-ness all over it, this story is truly something new and exciting. I found myself becoming truly enraptured with the world that Aprilynne Pike submerges the reader in, a world that holds both past and present times. Danica lives in Sonoman-Versailles, where the fashions and lingo mirror that of 18th-century France. But outside of Sonoman-Versailles, the world is very much like the one we live in. People where jeans and hoodies, they have cell phones, and they certainly do NOT have Kings and Queens. The meshing of these two worlds is truly something else, but I enjoyed that most of this story takes place in the palace. The fashions and politics displayed in Versailles are done beautifully by the author, and she even ensures to give the characters a very proper and distinct way of speaking to differentiate them from the rest of the world. I fell in love with the world that Danica was living in, even the horrors of it.

“Not something a gentlemen of breeding would ever do. Strangle a woman half his size during their amorous tryst? Yes. Crush her dress in public? Never.”

Danica was VERY interesting for me, because I still feel as if I don’t quite know her. At first her character seemed much smarter than all the riffraff that inhabits the palace, but at other times she seems just as ignorant. One moment I find her having a very mature and educated outlook on the world, and the next moment she is just as materialistic as the rest of women sauntering around the palace. That aside, I can’t help but adore her ferocity. This girl can be downright cold and calculated, and I…absolutely LOVE her for it. She can make cutthroat decisions and live with them, even if they tear her up a little inside. Though when it comes to a certain death, I am baffled at how tame her reaction is. I was expecting her character to have more human feeling than just crying a bit and moving on! She’s supposed to be the good one!

This story is ripping at the seams with manipulation and calculated moves. There are so many ruthless and deviant players that are working against Danica, even herself. The women of the palace are just as you would expect them to be, crawling over each other for the smallest crumb of extra acknowledgement or a chance at a higher social standing. But the biggest player of them all in this tale, is the king. The reader finds out early on that Justin (the king) is an atrocious and vile young man. He is arrogant, selfish, and is not above murder and scandal. His character DOES have a few moments of being…less horrible, which I find myself FASCINATED with! I have a hunch that he might turn a new leaf, maybe become somewhat less of an ass? Maybe not. But the fact that Danica is noticing these small moments as well makes you wonder…

“When one is dining with the devil himself,” I mutter, “a vast amount of preparation is in order.”

Glitter is one of those stories that entices you with a gorgeous cover and begs to be read. It snatches your attention and refuses to let it go, leaving you craving more and more…just like Danica’s cosmetics. I HIGHLY recommend that you guys purchase this book TODAY! Not only did it pull me out of my reading slump, it left me with a bit of a book hangover (which I am okay with). Gowns, games and glitter! You don’t need much else! ...more

Seventeen year old Danica stumbles upon the young King in a rather compromising position that ends in the death of a servant girl.

Using the situation Danica's mother bribes the King to marry her daughter to further their family without consideration for Danica. Danica now has six months until her eighteenth birthday to try to find her way out of a terrible situation.

Glitter really is one of those reads that is going to be extremely controversial among readers. The idea that the main character is being forced to marry someone she doesn't want to isn't exactly a new one in books but the author has certainly made this situation completely unique starting with the world she built and then the actions of the character to get out of the marriage.

The world in this story was certainly a unique one that I loved. While reading you know right away that the society is a bit more advanced that what we have today in the technology that is being added all along the read. But the book also has a historical feel to the setting with the wardrobes and social statuses of the characters. I will say I thought that the story did drag a bit with the constant mentioning of the clothing of the era after the first few times, some of that could have been cut out after establishing the setting.

In the story Glitter is a new drug and Danica comes up with a way to make the money she needs from selling it. The controversial part is that those buying is they have no idea that is what is happening. I found this very interesting reading if you put aside any moral concerns to what is going on. To me it's a work of fiction so I can let any concerns slide and dive right into finding out how this is going to all work out in the end of this unique story. The relationship in the story could have used a bit more attention too, perhaps focusing a bit more on it instead of Danica's wardrobe.

Overall, 3.5 stars. Certainly a unique story line although the drug involvement won't be for all readers. Absolutely loved the ending to this, a bit of a jaw dropper after all that led to it but also a bit of a chuckle but that is all I will say so as not to spoil this one.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book, but I didn’t know what to expect based on the cover. The Baroque society is really fascinating, so I can see the allure of living like that.

In this modern day world, high society live like it’s the eighteenth century. The current King’s great-grandfather arranged the purchase of the palace of Versailles and surrounding area from France, and turn it into a historical site. Residents and employees of the company take to the old ways with the aid of modern technology. They have corsets, style their hair in pompadours and coiffures, and live in that era of society. I admit that I didn’t know much about the palace of Versailles. This palace is where Marie Antoinette lived and her influence is still felt there. In this world, Sonoman-Versailles is independent of France, although the culture is undeniable French. This palace is really a world of it’s own within modern society.

I was confused at first because there technology and it is a bit science fiction, but I think the author did a great job of combining the styles to make eighteenth century living a bit more tolerable. Outside people live normally. Their fascination of the “royals” has no end. To the point where for a price, every Wednesday members of the public came come in and view the king and queen as they get ready for the day.

Dani is caught in a bad situation. Dani and her scheming mother witness the king murder a woman. Her mother decides the only way for the king to get away with this is to marry Dani, and make her queen. The king agrees but he isn’t happy. He all too prepared to make Dani’s life as queen hell. Dani wants out of that life and will do anything to get out of it. Including sell drugs to the high court to make enough money to pay for her surgeries into a new identity.

The technology in this place was really cool. The author has invented something called M.A.R.I.E- Mainframe for Autonomous Robotic Intelligence Enhancement, it is the mainframe for the palace of Versailles. Bots do all the hard work throughout the palace. Once Dani starts trying to pass off the highly addictive, Glitter, as face makeup, she has to be extra careful. M.A.R.I.E. sees everything and records it.

Dani wasn’t an easy character to relate to. She is a bit selfish, but I could understand her desperation. Dani is young and naïve, and what she does to try to get out of her future as queen is so questionable. I can’t wait to find out what happens next. This story also features a slow burn kind of romance that I really enjoyed. I sympathized with Saber and I liked Dani and him together.

This review is kinda long because I feel the need to justify my rating of this book. I think it will appeal to a certain type of reader who enjoys unique YA science fiction, with a little of the old world thrown in. It worked for me and I will definitely be reading the sequel! ...more
