5 effing stars. I was in love from page one. I don't give two flying hoots about what others think about this book. It's a masterpiece of imagination pulling directly from history. What people don't seem to understand is this a love letter and veneration of one of the world's greatest heroes. While it did take me a while to get through I couldn't help but think about it in my spare hours whilst needing great time to process and digest it. I strongly believe in the powers of worldbuilding, how our minds can create entire universe' from scratch. This alternative timeline exists somewhere, I just know it. I cried many times; I was on the edge of my seat. This book was like watching a film to me, that's how well written it was. To the author, I applaud thee. May the heavens forever bless and shower you and everyone you love, thank you for accentuating the wonder and heroism of one of the greatest women and people to ever walk the earth.
