I definitely enjoyed this more than Library of Legends, which I read a few years ago. I think that might be because this one didn't have the fantasy elements and was a straight historical fiction novel (w/ romance elements instead). The story was compelling and I enjoyed the characters and writing. It was a bit strange to me the way the timeline was handled, going forward and backwards so we'd know about things happening in the past before we would read it transpiring in the past. I didn't mind it really, but I did wonder why it was set up that way.
