Thanks Netgalley for the ARC. Now onto the honest review:
The good: The last 20ish% or so was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed both Abitha and Samson as characters and liked both of their storylines individually and when it all came together.
The bad: The pacing was off. This dragged in quite a few parts and it felt like there were too many side plots that were rushed through.
The ugly: Outside of all the historical stuff that took place in 1666 (anti-Indigenous rhetoric, slurs towards Indigenous peoples, lack of women's agency), the abuse towards an animal and death/mutilation of the cat felt wholly unnecessary.
