Many thanks to Libro.fm and the publisher for the arc!

It might be my fault, but based on the description I was expecting more fantasy/mythological elements and more romance. I think it was really well-written historical fiction with a hint of magic and a hint of romance. The pacing was pretty slow. It reminded me of a somewhat less exciting version of “The Mermaid and Mrs. Hancock”. The last 15% was really where I felt all the elements I was expecting came into play more and the pacing picked up. Overall, I would recommend to historical fiction fans over fantasy readers, because it was quite a good period piece.
