While I understand the importance of how this book was written and set up, the pace was truly just too slow for me to get to the "all loose ends tied up" ending

Dark thriller. I devoured it!

Although not an expert by any means on the witch trials, unfortunately I have enough knowledge that it clouded my enjoyment of the book. I will say the twist at the end was extraordinary and very well crafted, despite how infeasible it would have been in reality.

This book pissed me off. Read it. It will probably infuriate you too. And it should. 

What I mean to say is that this is well written and made me feel something.
