The dual timeline is exceptionally well-crafted, with meaningful parallels between past and present. The historical research feels thorough and organic to the story. Character development is particularly strong

Minor: Pregnancy and War

The book deals with themes of adoption and hidden parentage in both timelines. The mystery of Pa Salt's death remains unresolved, with suggestions that he might still be alive. There are parallels between Star's relationship with CeCe and historical characters' relationships that reveal family connections.

Sadness permeates the backstories of all the seven sisters it seems. But so far there is enough redemption to make them enjoyable reads.
