Not for me sadly. The main character felt like she was supposed to be strong and “girlpower”, but in my eyes she just complained, made bad choices and was weak. I mean she’s based on one of the most powerful woman in Hungarys history and still, this book was not the feminist story that I expected it to be. I understand that the time setting makes it impossible for her to be a strong and ruthless woman as it’s based in the 17th century but still one would have thought that she at least would be a little smarter than that.
