🎧 This isn’t my usual genre but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I’m not a huge fan of ‘put it down your neck’ religious beliefs and the constant sprouting of scripture but thankfully it’s not as overbearing as the book progresses. The storyline goes off in many ways without much warning but it worked well. The characters are well developed and likeable. The storyline has many the twist and turn. It’s very well written and really portrays the era in which it’s set. The narration was engaging and the story flowed well.
