4.0

Surprisingly it was less the subject matter that kept me interested and more the way Emilia Hart wove this story. It's not a beautiful story. It's hard and dark, but so hopeful. A story of women, bound by blood and separated by time, overcoming the world around them. Men are such easy villains to cast, especially men like these.
