Spindle and Dagger: Review

Rating: 4/5 stars
Review: 

*This book was provided by the publisher to give an honest review* If you love bloody, historical fiction with fierce heroines then this book is for you! This was an enjoyable and short read. I don't read much historical fiction but the author wrote the story well of a girl named Elen who spun a lie that Owain will get protection from Saint Elen if he keeps her name safe. The writing was different and not in a bad way. You can tell the author made it understandable for readers but also put some 12th-century language in it. The plot was well structured and the world-building was a little weak but not bad. The author put dates on the book instead of saying part 1 or 2 which is unique. The pacing was good and there weren't parts where it was too fast or slow. I didn't enjoy the main character, Elen, a lot but not because the author didn't write her well. She annoyed me a little because she was sucked up into Owain a little and didn't really release that she needs to leave to go into the real world. But there was a lot of information on this character because the author put flashbacks of Elen's life. You could tell that the character developed well throughout the book and didn't stagger. My favorite characters were Nest and her kids. I love how they were so brave when they were kidnapped and it brought me happiness when they cared so much for each other. They also let Elen be with them which melted my heart. I hated how Owain treated them because it was just a mom and her 3 children. This book was really good and I recommend it to ya historical fiction fans.  Plot- ⭐⭐⭐⭐★ Main Character- ⭐⭐⭐★★ Other Characters- ⭐⭐⭐⭐★ Writing Style- ⭐⭐⭐⭐★ Positive Vibes- ⭐⭐⭐⭐★ Pacing- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ending- ⭐⭐⭐⭐★ Book Cover- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
