A review by marvel_and_mischief
Blood & Sugar by Laura Shepherd-Robinson

dark emotional tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

The pace is slow in parts and sometimes I felt there were a few too many characters to keep track of. But the historical context of the book is fascinating and grim, and the characters with the largest roles (Cinnamon, Jamaica Mary, Brabazon, Scipio) kept me hooked until the end.
