Suspense, intrigue, mystery, romance. I really enjoyed this historical fiction! The chapter character perspective changes frequently which can be a bit dense to follow at times but it all comes together at the end. I would read this again!!

4 - good book, I'd recommend it to certain people in my life

Not feeling this. I’ve been bombarded with like 60 different names of random people. The constant pov changes are confusing.

Not my favorite SMG work, unfortunately. Admittedly, I didn't really understand the Salome story, which probably impacted how I absorbed the story overall. Some of the characters didn't get the comeuppance they deserved (looking at you, Nancy!) , and the way a couple of storylines were wrapped up (i.e., Vera) had a distance to them that made it feel like an afterthought.
