Really enjoying this series! I very much enjoy time slip stories, and the mystery aspect thrown in with that is a lot of fun.

I mean, I get it it. Women WERE oppressed, disregarded, and ill-treated in this time, and I DO like that she is not a 'damsel in distress.' Nevertheless, because of this attitude, on MULTIPLE occasions this meant she rushed off by herself, rather than getting back up, with VERY bad consequences such as .

BUT, maybe that is just my preferenceSpoiler
