This story goes from being almost a history textbook to graphic sexual assault and back multiple times. It’s just not worth it.

I have picked up and put down this book so. many. times. Like, it’s been years — but I finally completed it. It’s such a complex plot. The dates always got me flipping back and forward. Despite it taking half my life to finish, I loved it.

I'm amazed at how easy and enjoyable it is to read an almost 1000-page book.  This author is amazing.
