This writing often feels like an English major who wants to throw in tidbits to show they’re well read without any of the evidence to show they’re well written. Drug on quite a lot.
Moderate: Sexism
Honestly it’s internalized misogyny at this point. The MC is rather unbearable.churrocaitie's review

It took me a good halfway through before I saw where the book was going but when I got there, I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. I enjoyed how special each new character was that was introduced, and I loved how unique and dark Alison Goodman wrote the storyline with “history” as a baseline. I’m always a sucker for anything not-modern and I totally got my fix in this, while also enjoying a story that was perfectly adventurous enough for my liking.
