This book wasn’t the right fit for me. I liked Jess. They take care of others because it’s the right thing to do, and I related to that a lot. I looked up illuminated manuscripts, and while I had seen them before, I didn’t know they had a formal title. I loved that something similar is part of the prose. It adds a touch of magic to those portions of the story.

I appreciate how McCullough weaved this poetic journey into the overarching storyline. I imagine this wasn't an easy book to write. But I found that there wasn’t a fair balance between the two, and I didn’t feel invested in Marguerite. It pulls away from the overall story too much. But I have read a lot of reviews before reading this, and people really like this one. I think readers will be drawn to the duality. It’s an important subject that needs discussing. I’m grateful to the publisher for sending this along.
