I felt this book took a long time to get on the way. I felt the first two hundred pages were really slow to build. Especially in the present day there was a lot of confusion, running back and forth to look for people and answers. That was tedious to me. After that the book picked up a bit and I was very interested in the Medieval life that Kivrin was leading. Willis' descriptions of the plague were very vivid and made me sick to my stomach at times. I did not realise that there were three types of plague and that they came all together. It was sobering that Kivrin was not able to save anyone. Roche said that she brought hope but I just kept thinking about how scarred she will be because of all she knows, she was still not able to save any of the people that she had grown to love.
