4.5 stars!! OMG. This was INCREDIBLE, especially considering that I started and gave up on this book three separate times in the first 10%. The beginning is suuuuper slow and I was wary about the fact that I kept reading reviews that said there was no romance in this, which I usually don’t enjoy. BUT WOW. I loved this so much!!

All of the characters are fantastic. I loved Artemisia, the revenant was FRICKIN PHENOMENAL omg so funny and definitely the highlight of this book. I also loved the side characters Marguerite, Charles and Jean (and eventually LEANDER trust me I was shocked as well)

I am seriously so excited for the sequel to this!
