I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it was very difficult to put down!
I found the setting and time period so well described, I could picture it all with absolute clarity. I always find that adds so much to a book, and helps you really connect with the characters. I haven't felt so immersed in an era since I read Gallows Thief by Bernhard Cornwell. The characters were beautifully outlined, and you really feel for their varying situations.
The story was engaging and moved along at just the right pace to keep you interested and guessing.
I would heartily recommend this book and I fully intend to read the next one written by this author!
