Accomplishments of the Duke's Daughter: Novel 1

 

Today's post is on Accomplishments of the Duke's Daughter: Novel 1 by Reia. It is 244 pages long and is published by Airship. The cover is an illustration of the main character and her two personal body guards. The intended reader is someone who likes Japanese novels, reincarnation stories, and smart heroines. The story is told from mostly first person perspective of Iris, the main character, with some asides in third person from other characters for plot and world building. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- A Twist of Fate
Iris Armelia, the daughter of a powerful duke, is arrested and forced to her knees in front of her fiancé. Her betrothed, Prince Edward, is rejecting her for another woman! As Iris's life flashes before her eyes, she suddenly realized she knows exactly what is coming next- because she has been reincarnated into her favorite otome game as its villainess. Quick thinking saves her from exile, but Iris can't rest yet. If she wants to survive this world that sees her wicked, she'll have to change the world itself. 

Review- This is an interesting novel about a woman who gets reincarnated into a game world and she goes about changing it for the better. Iris was in the middle of being publicly broken up with when the memories of her past life came back to her. So instead of being exiled, she convinces her father that she has changed and wants to be responsible. He decides to trust her and makes the governor of their estates as a test. That is basic plot add in some economics and background political intrigue and that is this first novel. I really a good time reading this novel, I liked how Iris used her knowledge from her past life to make this world better, I like all the characters, I like how the world building is slow and steady, and I like that time is addressed in this novel. As you read the novel, you know how much time has past for Iris and her plans. I think that helps make the world more realistic that things just take time. I forward to reading the next volume. 

I give this novel a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and this novel was bought for me as a gift.
