"I was provided with an arc for an honest review so here goesThe language of the book didn't ring true in many aspects and I thought that perhaps the age group that it might be marketed at might struggle with the use of the scottish. The scottish also wasn't as spot on as it could have been as the word ye would have been used not you especially when teemed with the scottish terms. HOWEVER that is really a minor detail and many people could read this book without picking up on these minor discrepancies. There was three timelines in this book and it made it awkward in starting the book however it got easier. In regards to the story itself I found myself enjoying it. There were points when I thought that perhaps I might have been a bit old for this book and at some points I thought that I would have given it a 3.5 star rating but thanks to the ending I am happy to make it a 4 star rating. I love an author who can successfully incorporate real life history events into a novel and this book done exactly that! The author brought the whole story together with the end and it was a great ending, it was the ending that made me love this book! It was an enjoyable read and I am hoping to see more of these characters as there was a certain point which thought I might see a future story with Elisabeth and another character! I really hope so! Thank you for the opportunity to read this book by a great author!"
