Although I saw references in previous reviews to action, romance, and mystery, I thought the plot of this novel lacked all of those elements. The characters were also underdeveloped and did nothing to move the story along. I felt this read more like a fictionalized history written more to teach about customs and important events than to entertain. I had no investment in the story or characters and it never managed to capture my interest. I only continued to read because it was short and I always hoped that something exciting was bound to happen around the next page. Cadnum is a good writer, but I will have trouble recommending this title to anyone who isn’t looking for extra reading on this particular subject. ( )
