4⭐️ Really enjoyed the book, but felt that it was a little too slow at times. #2025 #bookreview #nonfiction #biography

4.75⭐️ I really liked this one. I found it to be a nice light, but in-depth read. Quite enjoyable. #2025 #bookreview #fiction #1920s #hea #historicalfiction #romance #oldercharacters #magicalrealism

3.75 ⭐️ very well written, but I think it should have been tightened up a bit more; felt it was too slow for my taste and I had to reread segments several times before moving on. I should have probably read it over a longer period of time to make more sense of it. #2025 #canadian #fiction #bookreview #contemporary #historical #literary

4⭐️ Despite the rating I gave, I really struggled through the book; felt that some of the early chapters where too wordy and that she took too much time to describe things that didn‘t seem to really fit into the narrative. But once I got into the back half of the book, it really flew by. #2025 #bookreview #mythology #retellings #fiction #historicalfiction #bookreview

3.75⭐️ I really liked the concept of the story, but I felt that it was written just a little too simplistic. I also really liked that she wrote a book based on an event that is rarely used as the basis for a book. #2025 #bookreview #wwi #halifaxexplosion #canadianfiction #historicalfiction
