This book reminded me how much I love a good historical fiction. While I want to say this was a slow burn, it had to be. Dragging all of the emotional turmoil, reading through the lives and relationships of each character is what made this book what it is! I now know it's a show, but I fear I wouldn't care for it as much as this book. Amazing storytelling, you feel all the things, but somehow it wasn't too much. Love, and def recommend.
