3.5
The prose of this book was beautiful, you can really see that MacKenzie is a poet. The book is a beautiful transformative text of two of the first written texts by women in English. I love the creativy of the concept and the love that went into this book.
But other than that, it felt a bit... boring? Part 1 (which was a 130 out of 164 pages) kept dragging on a bit too long. The meeting between Julian and Margery could've been fleshed out a bit more, that probably would've made a bigger impact. It's a good book, but I wish it made a bigger impact on me as well.
