omg this was so fun! i read this in one sitting. a nice historical mystery that isn’t dry and dense with background information and actually presents knowledge about the time and topic in a pleasant way which sadly i’ve found can be hard for some people to do. i loved saffron and alexander and i also enjoyed her roommate elizabeth. this was just a really nice time. i would check trigger warnings though bc it does touch on some topics and a few things happen on the page.
