The first three quarters of this book were masterful. I truly loved the nuance of the characters, I loved the shadowy cult in the background, and the historical elements were amazing.
However, I felt that the ending left me with questions that aren’t satisfying, it tied up elements that seemed inevitable but failed to enlighten me on any of the mysteries I was invested in. Mechanically the whole book is fantastic and well worth a read, but I would temper expectations (especially if you’ve read either of her short story collections)
