It was so good I didn't even really notice how long of a book it was. If you want strong female characters that are all equally great and different, while also being extremely flawed, often wrong, and sometimes unbelievably (and rightly) angry, this is the book for you.
It's been weeks and I still think about this book.

This book was BEAUTIFULLY written and had the perfect fairytale feel that was meant to be portrayed alongside historical truths. However, I lost interest many times due to the slow pacing and it took me quite a while to finish the book.
