Really intriguing and unique story! I did not know this bit of history of sin eaters, and loved learning about it. The story is set around a fictionalized version of England with some minor basis in historical fact (Queen Bethany=Elizabeth, Bloody Maris=Bloody Mary).

The plot twists were great and unexpected! The characters were well written and I enjoyed watching May grow throughout the novel. I also loved the writing style and the pacing was well done, I didn’t want to put this one down! The ending was also perfect for this novel. It wrapped things up with the main plot but left things open character wise.
