My favorite of the series. Yes, the plot is extremely slow moving. It takes almost half the book for Matthew and Diana to actually start doing the thing that sent them to Elizabethian England. Do I care? No, I do not. I like the meandering plot and the characters we meet along the way.

Listen - I take the criticisms of this book very seriously. It is a bit ridiculous. But I am lapping it up! I love this historical fantasy garbage fire! I also found it weirdly touching that Dianna's miscarriage was shown with care but also unflinchingly. Would I really recommend this series to everyone? No, but if you want a trilogy to dig into that really goes some wild places then sure. Give it a go.
