This book definitely starts out slow, but gains a fantastic momentum in the middle. The body of this book has twists you do not see coming and I reluctantly grew to love the heroine, Nella. The ending was like the beginning, a little blah and it all just sort of ends. But I do love historical fiction, so it was a fun tale to be apart of!

Ok so I sat down with this with high hopes as every time I walked into waterstones it was eveeeeeerywhere. I did enjoy it and I did feel for Nella the main character, it was beautiful written and held loads of mystery but I felt the ending was really anticlimactic. also I had a feeling the author wanted us to side with the other main female character Marin but I just didn't like her, I think her attitude sucked!
