3.5/5 ⭐
This book was alright but the main issue is the pacing of this book. I really enjoy historical fiction but it was even getting a little tedious to me at the end.

There's a lot of focus on a relationship between an automaton brother and sister as well as the main present day characters relationship with her deceased grandpa. I loved getting to visit all the different times and places and cultures. I liked the chapter POV switching and I found it pretty well coordinated so the previous historical chapter explained characters actions or feelings going on in the present time chapter.

sadly, the book really struggles with pacing.
