The Woman with No Name by Audrey Blake
4.0
I have loved the previous 2 books from Audrey Blake I've read immensely, so I had quite high hopes for this book. Unfortunately it didn't live up to the expectations, but there are a few reasons for that, I think. First, I listened to the audio and while the narrator was fantastic, I don't think I paid as close attention as I should have to fully grasp the story and understand what was going on. The second was how different the previous books were and how original the stories were, where as with this book it feels like there's been many books with a similar storyline. It didn't feel the SAME as all the other books, but just similar.
For the good parts, because there were a lot - the writing was fantastic as usual from Blake. I found there were a lot of characters that were a little hard to keep track of, especially on audio, but once I could straighten them all out, it was much better. I thoroughly enjoy historical fiction novels that are based on real events/people and this one hit the mark in that sense. The author's note really caps off the book, make sure to take a minute to read it!
