I loved the first half of this book but the second half kind of dies off for me.

The story follows Kivrin going back in time to 14th century England to study the way of life, but she ends up right in the middle of the Plague and she loses her path back home. She must find a way to survive as well as help the people around her but if she shows too much she'll be burned as a witch.

I really enjoyed the historical aspect of this where the author shows how life was back then that you don't really think about. Like how people stank, their teeth rotted, the way treated Illnesses, etc.
