The Traitor's Wife by Kathleen Kent

1.0

This was a very slow read with bland, one-dimensional characters. I was intrigued by the time period but felt more like I was viewing an exhibit at a museum than reading a story. I wanted to know more about Martha and Thomas, who they were and what the felt. This could have been a such a tragic and epic love story, but it simply fell flat. I read The Heretic's Daughter first, so I knew how their story ended. This book trudged along with an inconsistent style, and many times I asked myself "Why was this even written?" This should have either been a longer novel that focused more heavily on the characters or been combined with the Heretic's Daughter as one novel. Not horrible, but definitely not an enjoyable read.
