Closer to a 3.5 for me. I had started reading this during a reading slump and put it aside before getting very far in it. The reading tides turned and I picked this back up and I'm glad I did! I really enjoy books where the characters are on the road for most of the time and the places they went here aren't the normal places stories set in the 1700/1800s usually send their characters so that was interesting.

If I hadn't read a contemporary YA book prior to this one that also featured an asexual character, I would have completely missed that Felicity is asexual, but I really like this was included, especially in a historical setting.
