Reviewed by Zo zI read it in Spanish to practice. It was good practice bc I’m not familiar with medieval time and artsy words. The plot is pretty slow but I liked the pacing of it. The end was a bit disappointing, I wanted the main character to make a different choice than the one she made. Overall an interesting take on who the girl with the pearl earring could be.
