⭐⭐⭐⭐🌟
Beautiful story construct, with detailed character development that demands emotional investment. You cannot refrain from feeling sympathy for the little girl from the marshes. You cannot help but feeling protective of her, angry when she is scorned by the townsfolk, dismayed when she is manipulated by the local stud, astounded when she is accused of mayhem by the local judicial system. A compelling and beautiful read from front to back.
