A Heartless Design

This was okay. It took me way too long to finish for what it is. The premise was good, the characters were fine, and I have to give the author props for creating strong, intelligent female characters. That's awesome. Also props for the criminal justice rehabilitation narrative thrown in there as well, I appreciate that especially in an historical novel.

However, for whatever reason this just didn't pull me in. The pace was extremely slow and I was often bored. I had no real desire to continue reading this except to take it off my “currently reading” shelf once in for all and I'm not a quitter.
