The story was ok overall. I see many people complimenting it on historical accuracy, and while a lot of events seemed right, the social interactions seemed really improbable to me. A chambermaid serving at table and handing out drinks, the servants attending a ball ( held on Easter, no less, which the author acknowledges is a liberty, but I don't think acknowledges just what an amazingly unlikely occurrence this would be.)The magistarte teaching the chambermaid ( who already know how to read ) law. All a bit much to swallow, although perhaps this period was just far . far different from later periods, I admit I don't really know.
