I enjoyed this story. It felt very slow at the beginning and actually took me quite a long time to get into but I enjoyed the story.

“Whoever it is, they smell like incense, porridge, soul-numbing misery… Ah, yes. A nun.” - the revenant

"Perhaps deep down inside everyone was just a scared animal afraid of getting hurt, and that explained every confusing and mean and terrible thing we did." - Artemisia

“You had better not push it, nun. I can possess you whenever I want. I could do far worse than make you murder someone. I could make you try on hats.” - the revenant

This gave me one dark window vibes & I loved it so much!! I spent my whole day reading this & it was the best thing I could've chosen to listen to. Can't wait to read more of her books!

I absolutely adore Margaret Rogerson's other two full length novels. They're some of my favorite romance books of all time, I just love the way she writes banter. I got 67% into this book before I realized there was no romance in this book! That's totally fine, I'm not one to need romance in every book I read, it just wasn't what I wanted from this book. What I read was great though! Would definitely recommend if you're in the mood for fantasy YA.

First story I've read in a while without romance! I loved it...it was refreshing even though I love a good love story....great characters!

Something about this one motivated me to read it twice in a row. It was also a nice book to read while traveling for Thanksgiving . . . though not necessarily seasonally appropriate, but I suppose the argument could be made that the main character has things to be thankful for by the end of the book ;)
