2.0 out of 5 stars Not good!, 8 May 2009
I was very disppointed by this book and had high hopes having read the authors previous one. I found the story to be pretty banal and I did not like any of the characters (especially the crazy emperor and the silent French scholar). Also, I found the writing (although descriptive at time) aimless and with no focus.
