A lovely well written tale based on folklore. This is a duel timeline novel in which I did prefer the older story to the newer one
The writing is very beautiful and the characters are well rounded while the pages are nicely descriptive of place and time
I would have preferred the pacing to be a little better but overall a good read

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc

An enjoyable read.
Set over two timelines, I much preferred the earlier one, though both had very good headstrong women, not willing to bow down as expected for the females of their time.
The timelines worked well against each other, and it slotted into place nicely as the tale unfolded.
I also enjoyed the old stories incorporated into this.
