The Embroidered Book by Kate Heartfield

3.0

Phew! I’ve read many books that are much longer than this one, but I had to really push myself to finish The Embroidered Book. I’m unable to articulate a specific reason for the literary-induced lethargy that I suffered, because everything that I usually like was included in the story: strong heroines, well-written prose, magical elements, attention to historical details, etc. Nonetheless, my overall reading experience can best be classified as tedious. Warning: choosing to read this tome will seriously mess up your Goodreads Reading Challenge schedule!
