Actual rating:3.5/5

The concept is compelling. I enjoyed it overall, but felt there was some disconnect between parts one and two as the story experienced such a radical shift in the middle of the same book.

LOVE the main character, such a great strong female. I really liked this story, but it definitely requires a sequel.

A great story

What a time Jane gave me! It was nice to go through history with a dramatic and fantasy based retelling.
