Reviews
Im rounding up, since I cannot give halfstars.The historical context of this book intrigued me, and I found the authors ability to create an immersive setting very strong. However, I felt more immersed in the world of this book than I did in the story being told. The plot never consistently gripped me the way the setting did.I enjoyed, but didnt love, the book. It read like a first draft on the verge of unrealized potential for something more than a diversion.
