The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner
3.75

Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No

The Lost Apothecary has a beautiful cover and is a good story.  Loved the feminism of a woman helping get revenge for other women when she herself had lost so much at the hand of a man.  However, I felt like some aspects of the story didn’t make sense and were foolish to be believable.  That rubbed me the wrong way.  And some parts were essayish.  But it was well written, great pacing, and entertaining. And beautiful book cover.
