Literally every single plot element and theme of this book seems like it was perfectly constructed to fit my every interest and yet despite that... I was bored for almost the entirety of the novel. Nothing about this was technically bad, but it felt like it was missing something essential (to me).

What an adventure! The life of Jacquotte Delahaye is fascinating, and I loved how this author imagined a fuller story based on what little is known about her. 

I listened to a good chunk of this book on audio, and the narrator is fantastic.
