The slow pace in audio book form was perfect for listening to while painting. It had similar vibes to Manda Scotts Boudica, but softer. Bad stuff and plots still happen, but things still worked out for the main character. Which was nice, because I was not quite in the mood for the historical tragediy that often goes with this timeline.
