I keep thinking back to this book. It was my safe book. The one I go back to reading when the others get to be too much. It’s whimsical and witchy and the time period adds some fun new words into the mix. It’s been over a month since I finished it and I’m still missing the characters and want more. It wasn’t one I couldn’t put down but that’s kind of what I loved about it??? I miss Maude Hildy and Zita!
Unfortunately, this is going to be a DNF for me. The beginning was ok, but I noticed I don't feel like continuing.The tone makes no sense to me, it's like some magical force put modern woman to historical setting, and cranked patriarchy and misoginy to 3000%, but at the same time everything is funny. Combination just doesn't work for me. The feminist message is screaming at my face and I can't take it seriously like that. What happened with subtlety in books??? The idea itself is great, I like that, but the execution is a mess. I'm kinda disappointed cause I've been following Amie for years and I was really looking forward to this.
I actually enjoyed that Maud was a spoiled brat because why wouldn't she be. She was the daughter of a lord and her whole expected life was to marry well and have babies. I just wish there was more to it. The end felt abrupt.
I really enjoyed this book, much more than I would have thought as I usually dislike period books, however it's modern and relatable in its telling. At no point did I guess where it was going to go and I loved that! I also appreciated the main character's growth. I've lent this to some family who also rated highly, so definitely worth a read.
Coudnt stand the MC at the beginning as she came across like a spoiled brat with not much going on for her exept her self pitty. The side character however lifted this story to a truly touching story that even left me with wet eyed at the end.
