The Familiars is definitely a different style of novel for me to read. This has been on my reading list for a while so when I saw I could have a sneak peek I was excited. For me, the cover is underwhelming, however, it suits the style that many books of this historical period have. This seems to be suitable for both YA lovers, fiction and historical fiction. The storyline and writing style is easily readable and something that hooks you almost instantaneously. I cannot wait to read more and is the perfect way to dip your toe into the genre of historical fiction.
