3.0
My feelings are really mixed about this one. In the win column: the story is fantastic, the characters are full-bodied and the editing is nearly impeccable. The author has obvious talent and did extensive research, and was able to describe the scenes realistically.
On the down side? She was able to describe the scenes beyond realistically. The book is unbelievably long, with a lot of detailed depiction between important scenes. I don't hesitate to recommend this book to historical fiction lovers, who don't balk at lengthy books. Under normal circumstances, I would have been drawn into this story more, but I was simply in the mood for something more fun, with less investment.
