chloemakesbooks's review against another edition

inspiring medium-paced

Pros: good work "aging" the character, interesting premise, some good characterization, book p0rn
Cons: dragged out ending, anti-climactic, suffers from historical fiction's cardinal sin, name-dropping, barely passed the Duvernay test
