I get the point to tell the story of women during historical times where it was not recorded in mainstream history, i love hearing about that, but this one, it is just not my cup of tea, or may be it tried to cover too much ...

Very well written. Felt like the 2nd half of the book was way better than the first half. The first half made me question wait what am I reading again? There was a lot of set up and it did in the end pay off and linked all together though I personally would’ve liked it to be cut down I recognise that’s just my preference and people much prefer a slower read with this genre. As a twin who is autistic I really enjoyed the perspective of the other twin feeling responsible for the other and realising that they are seperate people and must be allowed to be.
