3.5 stars.
Overall, I liked it. Im surprise too because history wasnt my subject but she wrote it well. The author wrote the world-building really well.
My only issues: fell in love too fast. Overused of "dearest" and I don't know if during that time period, it's what men would say. Also, I couldn't stand Allie calling Thomas his wife but again, I don't know how they would say during that time period.
After the incident at their home, I loved the rest. The ending was really sad and at the same time, it puts a smile on my face.
I definitely will read more of her work.
