Biggest complaint is the slowness and sometimes seemingly overly complex machinations.
But it’s well written and I loved seeing a book from 1660s London that isn’t just the plague and fire. Learning about Ester with Aaron and Helen was fascinating, and their relationship was great (not romantic). Immersive atmosphere too; I could feel myself getting sucked in. It does take about 100 pages to really get into it and it’s not a fast paced book but it’s worth it
