My Thoughts
I was thoroughly entertained by this novel. Even though this is categorized as YA, it doesn’t feel overly like YA that is currently being written. True to form, Gregory includes diverse female characters who work against the social norms of the time. Unlike most of her novels, the story also follows a young male protagonist and it is set outside of Medieval England.
I find the storyline of a secret church society very intriguing and it is incredibly well done. I have already started the second book in the series because I was so excited to read more after finishing this one.
