This book, I found was to be good, interesting, yet boring. It didn't have much action, and it was kind of dull. I liked to story, and I liked how we got to know the characters, but this is not one of my favorites. I am glad I read it, because it was intersting, but I don't think people, like me, who are not to hot on history, would enjoy is as much as some other of Kathyrn Laskey's books. By all means, go read it, but just remember, if this is the first book of Laskey's that you have read, go for a better one first. Thanks.
