I really enjoyed this book although it wouldn’t be my usual preference (historical fiction 🤢) it took a bit of getting used to the language as it’s set in medieval times, and sometimes the language made me less connected with the main character. In the end though I felt for her and just liked how the story ended, realistic but satisfying ✨ I also thought it very creative to have all the aspects of womanhood and misogyny connected to the dancing!
