One of my all-time favourites! Read my full review here.
2021 Reread:
Even better than the first time! Reading this with fresh eyes I got a lot more appreciation for the supporting characters and the number of meticulous details put into the story. The Lie Tree is really an ode to all the invisible clever women throughout history, and this is especially evident in the characters, especially Myrtle and Agatha, who have a lot more depth than meets eye. Overall I just love this book so much and it remains one of my favourite books ever.
