So tbh I picked this book up in the shop because of how pretty it was not on the basis of knowing what the book was about 😬😱
It was a little slow getting into it but once I was I quote enjoyed it. It was very interesting, a little haunting and dark at times. I found the ending a little disappointing and rushed. But overall a good book 👍

- Very atmospheric; interesting setting, beautiful writing
- Lots of good characters although Maren fell a bit flat for me
- Bit slow at the start, bit fast at the end 
- For fans of Portrait of a lady on fire 
- Content warnings All. Around.

this could have been so good but
as soon as they arrested the friend it went downhill SO FAST. devastating. and I know it's historically accurate for it to be devastating, but tbh i want all books to give all queer people happy endings.
...definitely check the trigger warnings.
