3.5 stars
This was a historical fiction that spanned multiple times periods and characters. There is mystery surrounding a pearl and a mirror throughout the time periods. It’s begins with Holly searching for her missing who happened to disappeared when he was researching their family history and the Winter Queen.
I am always intrigued with historical fictions and find myself having to do a little research of my own to sift through what was true and untrue about the historical figures in the novel.
I really enjoyed this novel. The author really made this easy to visualize the different time periods in a way that made me want to be present at that time. I loved the mystery across the time periods as well. I’m giving this novel 3.5 instead of 4 because I felt the ending was missing something. Overall I really enjoyed it!! Thank you! I think I may reread this again one day to maybe catch anything I missed that lead me to feel like the story wasn’t over yet when it ended.
