cool historical murder mystery! I like how it is based on events that actually happened. The characters were really well fleshed-out and I loved and hated some in equal measure. This was especially well done as a lot of minor characters had very little screen time, but their essense was still conveyed effectively to the reader. I do wish that there has been more thrill/suspense to make the setting more atmospheric. Also it would have been cool if there were more clues given to the audience so that the mystery felt more real

3.5 stars!

Tentang keberadaan kita yang rapuh, tetapi juga tekad kita untuk bertahan hidup.
Tentang rasa sakit yang tersembunyi, dan kerinduan akan cinta.
