I enjoyed the book, but it took a while (until part 2) for me to get into it. The main character, Zenobia, is 17 in Part I and the author portrayed her as so obnoxious that it was hard to enjoy. Much of the charm in this book is in its rich atmosphere and setting, fast-paced and high-stakes plot, and romance. The writing itself was somewhat overblown, but I still enjoyed it.
A 3.5/5 book. It was good, but tempo was odd in places, and I struggled to follow some of her decisions. But also love having such a strong female character in a world led by men. A historical character I knew nothing about too.
