Unfortunately, this book was a real let down. 

• We got very little emotional depth and given all the horrors depicted in this book, that was disappointing. 
• There was pretty graphic depiction of child SA that is really and TRULY only shown to illustrate how horrendous it was to be a girl and “low class” people in the 1600s but I PROMISE the rest of the story depicts that without a young girl needing to be r*ped on page. It had ZERO ties to the plot and was so unnecessary. 
• The Climax of this story was anticlimactic but, also, there was very little build up to it so, I guess?
• The ending was basically an info dump, which I always dislike but, in a 266 page book? Why?
