I like historical fiction with some court intrigue (and alt history with magic being possible), but this still started rather slow. I didn't find the characters interesting and was struggling to keep going until about 40%, then I flew through it for a while again after the three “trials” were done. I'd never read much about non-Catholics during the Inquisition, more about witchcraft accusations in that time, so I was expecting to love this more than I did.
