It's like a 4.75. I just didn't like the very last parts of the ending. I swear this series is what made me fall in love with Julie Garwood's writing and it kills me that she didn't continue writing these kinds of historicals.
Might re-read again for book club Historical Hellions in July.
A very interesting book where strong and determined characters, despite their weaknesses, interact and move in a historical time in which travels take an eternity, at a time when medicine was only a rudiment
Credible characters, subject to the greatest setbacks of life, interact throughout the unfolding of history and generate emotional moments where the characters experience their certainties or uncertainties, joys or sorrows, where ingenuity leads to moments of humor perfectly hilarious.
For all this, and precisely because of this, this is a book and a writer whose reading I recommend.
