First, a rant about the mc and then I’ll tell y’all how great this book is. I think she was insufferable at times. I’m not sure if this was the authors intention or not, but I found myself hating her point of view a couple times in the story. I am completely all for powerful women, but Audrey seemed to consider herself smarter and morally higher than everyone else in the story. Maybe pride is intentionally her main flaw, but I couldn’t stand it most of the time. She often ignored the adults in her life in the name of feminism to do absolutely stupid things because she believes herself, a 17 year old teen, above death and injury. This does get better as the series moves forward though. I did enjoy the plot and will be reading the next in the series. The characters were worth rooting for for the most part, and I didn’t see most of the main twists coming.

Extra warning- take’s God’s name in vain and looks down on religion. Makes sense in the context of the book but I think people should know what they are getting into if it goes against their religious beliefs.

THIS WAS SO GOOD!!! I wasn't sure if I was going to like it, because it is young adult, and YA has been really hit or miss for me recently. It's also historical, which I do not always enjoy either. However, I heard a lot of really good things about this book, and I am very intrigued by stories like this in general, so I decided to give it a try! I am so glad that I did! I loved the main character, she was such an amazing mc to follow. And Thomas Cresswell has my entire heart. Seriously, it's been a long time since I've fallen in love with a love interest in a book that wasn't mainly a romance, but I loved him so much!!! I did predict the plot twist, but it actually didn't hinder my enjoyment of the story at all! Sometimes when I predict a plot twist, it makes me lose interest in the story, but not in this book! This actually made it more exciting for me to watch the characters figure it out too and also to see if I was right or not! I don't really know how to explain it, but I really loved it! I'm so upset I don't have the second book in the series immediately, because I am so excited to continue on with it!! I cannot get enough of Audrey Rose and Thomas, and am so excited to read more about them!
