Thank you to NetGalley for receiving an E-Arc copy.
Do you want to be annoyed? Sad? Angry (Throw the book across the room levels of angry)? If the answer is no, read this book. If the answer is yes, also read this book.
This is an amazing collection of amazing women throughout history and across the globe. While some of the women are well known (Marie Curie etc.) many more are unknown, and are just jumping of the page to finally be acknowledged.
There are countless great role models for girls in here, but there are also a few stand out guys, who supported their wives, daughters and colleagues in their endeavors.

E-Arc received through NetGalley.
Does the 2.5 rating really reflect the quality of this book? Not really, if you, unlike me, don't mind what I call the 'Just-Talk-Already'-plot this book is a nice read. But if you are like me in hating this type of plot this is a horrible version of itAnton has no in-world reason to say 'He can't hurt me' instead of 'He can't kill me' to Vasalie, the only reason he doesn't is so the plot of the book can keep the ending as it is now
I do think this book had potential, but this really ruined it for me.

I really liked this. I enjoyed it setting and I am curious what we'll learn about the rest of the world in coming books. I also grew to really like our four protagonists. Unfortunately it became a bit predictable towards the end and it was slowed down by what I call a 'Just-Talk-Already'-plot. But I am looking forward to a sequel after it's ending
