Reading progress update: I've read 15%.
While I do love historical fiction and have enjoyed previous works by the author, I wasn't engaged at all. After just 15%, I decided to put the book down.
I didn't feel anything toward any of the characters and found myself wanting to skim large chunks of text and dialogue because they didn't seem to hold anything relevant to the story (ie: the chants while the girls played and their prolonged debate over who would miss who more).
I'll certainly try another book by the author but this one wasn't for me.
*I received a copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.*
