disappointed

Revisado: 05-09-24

I thought this book was going to be good but as it progressed there was no character development. The characters were flat and one dimensional. Overall, as a historical fiction novel it fell short with actually going into the Spanish inquisition. Big disappointment as a Bardugo fan myself.

Revisado: 11-23-23

Not what I Expected

Revisado: 09-01-23

I couldn't make it to the end. I was thrown into the middle of a world I knew nothing about. Then thrown into another world I knew nothing about. As the book progressed, I thought there would be world building, unfortunately not. The writing didn't just lack world building but depth of characters as well. Nothing made me want to finish this book. I was so excited but sadly disappointed. The narrator was okay but could've been better.

Nice but like paperback better

Revisado: 05-24-23

I started this book out on audio then bought the paperback. This is a great book but hard to get into on audio. I just needed to reread and absorb the content more than the audio was doing for me. I still recommend this book, especially in a time when history is needed.

Absolutely Love

Revisado: 03-30-23

I absolutely loved this book. I really liked the narrator and felt her connected to the story, she wasn't boring, read the story well. Although I don't share the same sentiment about a child in the womb as the author I knew her point and where she was going. I liked how the story connected all the characters. Each character had a great story. Overall, this is an excellent book. I highly recommend this book.

Great Book

Revisado: 03-16-23

I loved this book, however, the author should not have narrated it. The main character is a 17 year old girl, where as the author is an old woman. I just couldn't get the image of an old lady playing the main character and not a 17 year old girl. Not to mention the narrator pronounced several words incorrectly. I did like the story, cried at the ending and if I had to do it again I would read this instead of listening.

started strong, ended weak

Revisado: 09-16-22

I liked the book at first, however, there are several trigger warnings, abuse, abuse against women, child prostitution, pedophilia, death, murder, rape, human trafficking, and more.

I'm surprised I finished this book with so many triggers. Does give a sense of how women were treated in history. Goes into a lot of detail of sexual treatment which I didn't like. The performance was amazing on audio. I expected it to finish a lot differently and stronger.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone that triggers with sex abuse. I'm rating it two stars.

Waste of a Credit

Revisado: 09-06-22

This book is boring and started off like Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire. Only instead of one vampire telling the story there are two vampires telling their stories. I was like, really how original to piggy back a vampire novel. Then as the male vampire story was told to the reporter/journalist it was taking me everything not to fall asleep, like a textbook. I couldn't make heads or tails of the characters they were introduced so fast and without an introduction. The author is the narrator and that is very problematic because the author has a bit of a lisp or just doesn't pronounce things correctly. This is just a waste of a credit. This is not a good vampire novel and I love vampires and gothic novels. Waste

Not my Cup of Tea

Revisado: 09-05-22

I listened to this because I wanted to read the physical book to my daughter. Overall, the narrator sound like she has a stuffy nose cold, which is annoying. The story itself was boring, I don't think my daughter will like it. I do like how the author includes Pan, which as a pagan that was a plus.
