This wasn't what it was advertised as to me, but I'm glad I stuck with it because I quite enjoyed it. As some points I kinda felt like we just checking off historical events, but what really shine is the characters and their relationships. I love Gracia and Anita so much and can't wait to see more of them in the next book.
