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.

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!

This book was tough for me. It took me a bit over 50 pages to really click with the writing and it moved pretty slowly for the first half of the novel. I also felt like some trigger warnings were really necessary, for sexual assault and a somewhat forced adoption. There were some continuity issues with dates that could’ve used some editing too. Overall, the story was interesting, but it’s not a book I’d pick up again.
