I liked it but didn't love it - gave it 3/5 stars. It was short (especially for HF) so it was good for a quick, "light" read which still gives you some insight into Elizabeth's childhood and teen years. However, Kat's relationship with Elizabeth doesn't really kick in until about half way through so most of the first half focuses on Kat's (most fictional) life.

Same here, and I think it was a DNF for me. I was expecting more of a relationship with Elizabeth and not the focus on Kat's early life.
