I had so much hope for this book, I really did.

Do I like historical fiction? Uhh no not really. But I do love political intrigue and demons and books with elements of fantasy, so I gave this a shot!

It was horrendously slow, though the grand details provided were great, and I found myself losing interest in the plot. Even further, I stopped caring about Helen and her qualms. Because like... WHY IS SHE HAVING FEELINGS FOR HER COUSIN????

I found the ending anticlimactic and I won't be reading the rest of the series. However if you're a fan of the slow burn and historical fiction, I'd still recommend it to you.
