One issue I had was the transitions are clunky. There was one spot where it looks like a chapter is missing as the jump just doesn’t read well. However, it gets back on track easily.
It’s definitely a ride of twists and turns, a bit unrealistic and repetitive. But I like that it’s not a story that just ties everything up in a nice little package with a cheery bow.
The language is a bit jarring so you have to keep the time period in your mind as it’s just being authentic to the time period. However, I expect it may be triggering to some folks and probably should come with trigger warnings at the beginning of the book.
