A very promising plot ruined by shoddy execution.
I was sorely tempted to not finish this book because it just seemed so tortured. The characters are flat and unlikeable, their interactions stilted and the pace is far too slow given how little actually transpires. And its the worst kind of historical fiction: where the author plays fast and loose with the facts, restructuring reality to suit the plot. Ugh.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher for review.
