The Kingdom of Back is a fantasy retelling of the story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, focusing on his sister, Nannerl. Nannerl is a talented pianist, who wishes to play for the greats in the royal court. But as a woman in eighteenth century Europe, Nannerl's chances of greatness are slim. Meanwhile, her brother Wolfgang is showing immense talent, achieving Nannerl's dream. But Nannerl dreams of a strange forest kingdom, and someone offers her an enticing offer.

I liked the exploration of a story we know a little of, and spinning it into a luscious fantasy tale. Marie Lu's characters are well developed and almost real. It is so easy to get swept up in this beautiful tale of music, family and magic.
