4.5

A really interesting story. I really enjoyed the experience of reading, but I didn't find it engrossing as I would have needed to to give it a 5 star rating. It was a bit slow to start. Really loved the character of Louisa and how Wagadhaany's impression of her made me examine my own thoughts and biases.
