I had high expectations for this book after Priory and it did not disappoint.
The characters and the world were well-fleshed-out, I came to care about them deeply. There were no plot holes and it set up Priory nicely.
The writing was beautiful, I only found that it was quite slow for me but towards the end it got better.
Representation of everyone (gender-equality, POC, LGBTQ, etc.) was there, just like it ought to be.
I loved the themes, motherhood, religion and duty, and how they were explored.
