It does me a little bit more than I would like. I think that there is a good chunk of the book, devoted to the âall is lostâ section of a heroes journey before they find the means to get back at the evil George Hill.Â
If I read it as a fairytale or fable, like its inspiration, it is forgivable in the sense that the villain is fairly two dimensional , not quite as realized as I would hope but better than I had feared.Â
Overall, I think what made me enjoy this the most was the pros and descriptions in the book. I think that what Alex Harrow has done here in terms of the write (metaphors and similes and weaving together history and fable) is really magical in its own right.Â
I also enjoy how much the author in her weave in people historically left out of the womenâs movement.Â
