This book is so slow. There are some good and important plot points, but so much boring info to go through to get to the plot.

There are only so many hours in a day, and this one is not worth it. Don't bother.

Slow start, but then picked up momentum. If I hadn't liked the first book so much I might not have soldiered on. Can't wait for the finale.

Exactly what I hoped the sequel would be. A very satisfying read for fans of book one.

A little slow in places but for the most part an exciting page turner. Can't wait for book 3!

Loved it! Loved all the characters especially the historical characters such as Shakespeare, Elizabeth I and Walter Raleigh. I love history so loved the descriptions of Elizabethan London. Can't wait to read Book of Life later on in the year.
