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.

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.

I highly recommend this true story. It had me in its grip. It took me a while to read through because it is hard to endure the pain and strength of the women involved over such a long time.
It's unbelievable how long it took for the women to find justice. How they were ignored, mistreated, and discredited.
I truly believe that it would still be the same in our days. Company's only interest are the money they can make, whitewashing their "code of ethics" or "code of conduct", lying and manipulating, bribing and threatening the people who are a risk to the companies vault.
But also a story of hope, faith, and will ...
