Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed The State of Grace. I read it quite quick but I enjoyed every single minute of it. This is the first novel I have read in which the main character is on the autistic spectrum. And it was bloody interesting 😁 characters are lovable and i loved reading about them all.

I did really enjoy this novel from the get-go. I enjoyed learning about the circus life, and the changelings, I loved all the little interactions Lo and Rita had, and I loved the little stories from the girls childhood, but unfortuntely I felt as if there was no real build up to the ending which did spoil my overall enjoyment of the novel.

However, this novel is beautifully written and I can't wait to read other novels by Heathfield.
