Good Thing About Sovay
Sovay is geared toward teens, but is a nice break from modern books. It's a historical fiction novel but still goes into Sovay's life, the history is a small plot inside the larger plot of the book. There are some really good cliff hangers toward the end of each chapter that make you want to keep reading, and all sorts of twists and turns. The book switches between characters, making it more like real life and anticipating what is going to happen next to the character that is not being focused on.

Things That Were Confusing
The confusion in this book is used as an aspect by **Celia Rees** that makes you want to figure out what is going on. This writing technique make the book better once you clear up any confusing. Something that is minorly confusing is the fact that dialouge in done like this, 'Seventeen! Why, these days, that is practically an old maid!' instead of in the traditional way, but this does not take away from the book's merits at all.
