Historical fiction with a tiny bit of magic. Heavy themes of racism and sexism and being in a society where you are a person being discriminated against. I really loved the parts where we are studying at Oxford, and the lead up to that and the end result were also exciting. Loved the narrator for the audiobook as well.
