My favorite line was "im not fearless, I'm just afraid of different things than most people."
Overall it was a fast moving story but there wasn't as much action as there were deaths to move the story along and repetition in both plot points and verbiage. I very much liked the narrator for the audio book and was surprised and pleased that it was the author doing the narration. I also appreciated the notes about what was real history and what was fiction. I appreciate that in a historical fiction book if they pull stories from reality. I also liked the list of reference material and other stories that the author pulled from and used as inspiration.
