The Brewer's Tale by Karen Brooks

4.0

This book had me gripped to my seat up until 50% of the way through. I did not expect going into this what a stressful journey this book would end up being. From 50-70% this book slowed down a fair bit and did lose my interest somewhat. But it picked up the pace afterwards for which I am glad for, as I was really invested in it at the start. I do have to say I am surprised a character acted so naive when it came to another character, when if anything they should’ve been extra paranoid of everyone and everything. That just seemed super out of character to me. Either way, was a stressful but very interesting book. Knowing the author spent a lot of time researching this era and brewing to make this book as accurate as a historical fiction book can be, makes it extra special. Will definitely be checking out more books by this author!
