This was a completely new genre for me and I am not disappointed. I really liked the tie in to present day and how her POV wrapped it all up in the end, though it might not have been entirely necessary. I loved the themes of feminine empowerment, friendship, and independence. There was a slight mystery aspect to the book, but I don't think I'd consider it a historical mystery by any means.  I feel like the word "tincture" was used wayyyy too often.
