I could not put A Woman of Intelligence by Karin Tanabe down! I love historical novels, so this was right up my alley. I was super excited to get this ARC, and I was excited to finish it. The main character was fantastic, I loved the prose, and I felt this went by so quickly. This explains, tells, and illustrates so much, and I loved reading it.

dnf at 60%, It was very slow the main plot was to be about Rina as a spy but you don’t even get that until about ch 18. There’s lots of little details about random things that don’t connect to the plot and if taken out like have made this more interesting to read. Rina
