Good book. It took me awhile to get into it, the beginning chapters give you a glimpse into the characters in the story, but not what the story is about, so you do have to stick with it to get to the point of the story. I liked Adelia from the beginning ~ a woman well ahead of her time in more ways than one, dropped into a world that decades behind the one that she was raised in and having to find a way to maintain who she is while playing by anothers rules. Glytha & Ulf are my favorite secondary characters and play off Adelia well. Rowley took awhile for me to like him, but as the story goes along he does start to grow on you. It is also a testament to the author that I had no clue as to who the killer was until the reveal. Looking forward to reading the other books in the series and seeing what happens to the characters.
