Too slow to start off. I’m sure I would have liked the middle.

This book was fun! I typically don’t read historical/non-fiction books as I tend to find them boring, but the pacing and prose of this one made it easily one of the most fun reads I’ve had yet. The story is fascinating, the real people are represented in a respectful fashion, and the story leaves behind great themes of how stories used to be told and the extremes of humankind. I would highly recommend it!
