Are there a lot of content warnings? Yes. It’s historical fiction and realistic to the time, but that’s why it’s one of my top favorite books. There is so much good with this book, too. Witty, informative, strong characters, peaceful and beautiful scenes along with romance and dramatic chaos.

Was a decently good book, but incredibly long…it got to the point where the plot was just jumping back and forth from the main characters being happy, in mortal danger, barely escaping, relieved, and happy again before the cycle restarted.  I got a little bored, realized it’s a series of 9 books, and decided to end the book early for myself to force the idea of a happily ever after. Oops.
