This was surprisingly good! I’ve been really enjoying historical fiction recently and this hit the spot even though there were magical realism elements to it. 
I think the trials could’ve had a bit more punch and the romance subplot seemed a little misplaced but overall I really enjoyed this!
I’m very keen to see where the next book goes because everything hit the fan in the last 50 pages.
