AAAUUGGGGHHH! The premise is great. The mystery is fun. But, oh, tortured metaphors! (Her mother's "softly gathered stocking feet." "Her careworn eyes." "She climbed into her sweatshirt.") The anachronisms! (Scene: 2000; reference to an online dating site that did not begin until 2004.) (Scene: 1661: "the blue ball of woven electrical veins iwithin her fingers..." Would a village girl in 1661 use the term "electrical"?) The implausibilities! Late April, Massachusetts: a pond "ringed with shards of ice." And using monkshood and henbane in the potion -- but in Massachusetts in April neither of those two plants is above the ground (they bloom in late July). Reference to finding in a medicine cabinet "an old expired prescription" and then taking pills out of a bottle. The prescription was not in the medicine cabinet; the results of that prescription were. <br /><br />I ought to hang onto the ARC to compare with the finished book to see if any of these errors get corrected. <br /><br /><br /> Nannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09239289676429380866noreply@blogger.com
