Content warning Some unrealistic details.
That was a quick read. Very entertaining. The switch between the two-time frames kept it thrilling enough to keep on reading.
Some parts are quite .. unbelievable. After 200 years in the water a glass vial would be smoothen out and a possible logo would be destroyed. Also, the hidden room untouched? After 200 years? I would have liked to read an explanation for that. And what about going into a dark back alley during the night, trespassing and breaking into a building? No one ever? Not once, not a kid, no teens, no secret lovers would have done it? Quite unrealistic from my point of view.
I didn’t like Carolines inner dialogue when it comes to her marriage and how she seemed to freeze when it comes to James’s unannounced arrival in London. Personally, I would have send him to another hotel or would have switched hotels before his arrival. Needless to say that I didn’t like James at all.
Some potential stayed unused, especially Nella’s end and some words about Eliza after she found Nella on the doorstep.
Overall I liked the stories about the three main protagonists. Three women and their stories on how they found their place.

What a spectacular adaption of Shakespeare’s MacBeth.
I was gifted this book some 5 years ago but stopped reading it halfway through. Probably due to my language skills as a non-native speaker I didn’t find access to the style of writing.
Totally different reading experience now. I loved reading it. Highy recommended.

A world divided. A queendom without an heir. An ancient enemy awakens.
The House of …
I gave it a try. I did. And partly I enjoyed reading it.
I liked Game of Thrones, I liked Wheel of Time. I don't have issues with dragons, magick or mages but this one was just boring for most of the time. Only the last mile so to say it got interesting.
A complete unnecessary element is the love-story between Ead and Sabran. Adds no value to the story.
Having said that. I admire that the author created a world driven by women. And then .. I have read better books when it comes to that.
No, I won't read the second book. The story has ended .. for me.
