I enjoyed reading this book, particularly the historical research and detail involved in creating Izabela's world. I previously had no knowledge of the design and construction of the Christ the Redeemer statue and loved learning about it throughout the book.
Some of the dialogue could have been better phrased and certain scenes felt unnecessary. Some sentences were striking, however, because they carried gems of truth at their core.
I like the fact that this is a series and that the various mysteries and unanswered questions already alluded to in this first book will be explored and more details will be revealed as the series progresses. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.
