I just finished this book and wanted to immediately share my thoughts on it. Let me preface this by saying that I am writing this to engage in discussion. I thought this book was a wonderful and more historically accurate look at Elizabeth Bathory.
I loved that Shelley took an historic view on her. She is such a fascinating figure, and I have been obsessed with her and her myth for years. It was refreshing to see such a well-researched exploration of her life, along with the politics that surrounded it.
Shelley’s writing is so engaging, and the extra historical information at the end of it was the icing on the cake. I am so glad I decided to read this book, it really helped reignite my interest in her.
