It was so good but it was also a lot. It was beautifully written and would be a full 5 stars
if I liked the ending better. It just made me sad and made me worried for the future of the characters which may have been the point but wasn’t my favourite.
Truly an incredible dive into desires and the treatment of people by the church. It was super interesting to read about choreomania in a fictional context with actual fact sprinkled in.
