The French Sultana The Veil and the Crown Book 2 edition by Zia Wesley Literature Fiction eBooks

This was an interesting story because it was historical fiction about an uncommon time in history for this sort of book. It lacked a bit of depth for the characters; I didn't really care too much about any of the characters when they were in danger at the climax of the story. I liked how the author pulled from the (very unlikely) possibility that the main character was actually related to Josephine Bonaparte and it made me curious about her. I think if I hadn't had any prior knowledge of how the Ottoman harems worked/a basic history of them, I may have been a bit confused in some parts though. It held my attention but it feels like there are big pieces missing from making it a really good book. I also appreciated how for the villains of the story it was told how they came to become like that (like abuse, and etc.) and they weren't your average bad guys. I think the sultans, just could have used a little more character development so we could really understand. I think a bit more background about the culture would have helped.

The French Sultana The Veil and the Crown Book 2 edition by Zia Wesley Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

Learned so much about two amazing young women who go on to change to world! Very good book! Recommend highly!
Delightful books. Accurate in the Muslim history, especially in the connection between the Wahabists and the Saudi royal family, who are still the financial and political support behind so many of the "random" terrorist attacks.
Who knew that two cousins and best friends from Martinique would become a Sultana of the Ottoman (Turkey) and the Empress Josephine Bonaparte. The tale is compelling. I will warn that the sexual practices of the royal harem are described in detail in the event such offends you.
The second of the series did not disappoint. I love historical fiction ( authors Phillipa Gregory, Michelle Moran). I really enjoyed both the Stolen Girl and The French Sultana. Intriguing glimpse into the world of the Harem simultaneously looking into the love between Josephine and Napolean. Well done. Just wish there was a third book.
What a wealth of history and what a tremendously great read. I was blown away by the ease of understanding the Middle East and how it mirrors today. This author wrote these books with an obsession that clearly paid off! Love them both highly recommend!
...I didn’t like it as much as the first book, “The Stolen Girl”. This book seemed to have more gratuitous sex than the first and I thought it unnecessary. The history was better in this book though. Also, Aimee/Naksh was more of a side thought in this book as the story was more about Empress Josephine and the Turkish people.
Interesting narrative and imagined correspondence tie the two cousins Rose and Aimee together – one becoming lover to two Sultans of the Ottoman Empire and mother to a third, surviving rebellions and civil wars as well as the intrigues of the seraglio’s ambitious odalisques; the other becoming wife to Napoleon Bonaparte. Josephine’s story is documented in France’s history. Aimee’s life is partly documented, but a disputed legend took over the story line at the point of her capture by the Bey of Algiers. However, read as simply a novel about historical persons, the characters rise from the pages to engage our imagination, sometimes challenging us with their flaws and mistakes, sometimes delighting us with their wit and resourcefulness. Kismet, fate, has a lot to do with the patterns of their lives. Unless you think it’s the prophecy controls things.
