hopeful informative sad tense slow-paced

My experience reading this started as intrigue then lead to some anxiety and sadness back to intrigue. It kept me engaged and I overall enjoyed being on the inside of a girl gang based in history.

2.0

The start was good, but my heart sank when I saw dual perspectives. 
The slang is what killed it for me. Author really needed to put a glossary for terms because I got lost trying to keep track what the fuck was happening with everyone. I couldn’t follow it anymore because there’s way too much slang. 
I actually liked Nell because she was realistic, being naive and trying to figure out how to get out of bad situations without anyone to help her.

Stellar premise, not-for-me execution. I finished it because I wanted to know what happened, but thankfully this was a quick one because it did not hit.

The cast of characters, the settings, the plot, the dialogue-all written so well! Nothing felt anachronistic and pulled you out of the story. Would give a higher rating but I just didn’t like the characters, but they were well written!
