This book was a slow burn for sure. It steadily builds interest until it captures your attention completely and entirely. Somewhere around the half-way point, I could no longer put it down, even staying up past my bedtime to finish it.

Normally I wouldn’t think a scientific, historical western would be my thing, but this story has a wonderful romance at its heart. It also addresses some social issues such as women’s rights and religion without being too overt. Great read.
