Though it is overly long—by about 200 pages—it is fun and is easy to follow. It’s a great example of what historical fiction can be. The author clearly loves her subjects and her bibliography shows that she exhibited thoughtful and careful attention to detail. I can see mysel picking up the concluding sequel of this saga in the future.
