I did enjoy this story, though it was a bit confusing at times with the POV jumps. I'm terrible with names (even character names) so at the start of each chapter, for a few seconds I didn't know who was who or what was happening. But I guess that's my problem. Anyway, I did enjoy the story and the writing, but I couldn't quite get fully on board seeing as it went with the 'women are evil seductresses or disposable' trope so often seen at the time. I appreciate it was a different era with a different attitude to women and their place in the world. Still, doesn't mean I have to enjoy reading it when it comes around. I have really enjoyed books that have this attitude and I have enjoyed books with all or almost all male characters, this one was just a little bit much. So three stars, not four.
