I loved this novella, or whatever it would be classified as lol it was very short. I do wish it was longer because the world building was so fascinating and the characters were too.

The story moved really quickly, sometimes period books can be a bit of a drag for me but this one I finished in only a few hours. It was about a midwife in a fictional version of 16th century London where a lot of strange, not quite human babies are being born. The midwife is a little bit strange herself and feels a connection to the babies. I really wish we got more at the end, like I said this book actually would've benefitted from being longer but overall it was a great read for this time of year and I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for something dark and fast paced.

Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy.
