I really thought this book was one of the best books I have ever read. Ms. Rice did such a great job describing the historical events. I do wish that the book was a little longer. The reason why I enjoyed this book so such is because in the other books Ms. Rice never really wrote too such about Pandora and there was no mention of her history at all. I always though she was quite and liked keeping to her self. But when I read the book I realized that she was not quite at all, but instead she is lonely, and still is not recovered from the things that happened to over the years. This book is filled with romance, history, adventure, love and lose. I recommend it to anyone.
