4.0

this was as beautifully written and everything else this author does.

so if you want straight to the point and no diacritics writing or plot that just gets to where it is going without some detours? 
not the book for you. 

but i enjoyed this a lot.

i really loved the characters and their stories. 
i enjoyed the female characters in this book and how they used that to their advantage because every male and some other people as well just dismissed them because of their gender. 

i enjoyed the supernatural or fantastical elements as well. it was nicely woven into the story in a way that was well done, it fit well into the historical aspects of the story and just added a little something extra to it. 


i just enjoyed this a lot and will counting on soon.
