3.0

straightforward and relatively gory for a young adult novel, which was pretty cool. i struggled to connect with Zuretta sometimes and I felt as though I was being told details instead of shown. Some characters felt like they needed more fleshing out and I would have enjoyed deeper interactions between them. i love this time period and i’m glad this story was written - overall, enjoyed reading

The main reason this wasn’t an interesting read is we know who the killer is the entire time. I mean, it’s based on a real historical event. Sooooo it’s not really an interesting mystery when the readers know everything the whole time. There was no element of surprise or intrigue.
