I love the historical setting and the excellent research put into this book. However, the author seems to assume the reader has full knowledge of this history. As a result the names of author historical persons, titles, objects and places are dropped into the narrative without proper explanation of who and what they are. 

I enjoy historical fiction because of the amount one learns from it. The amount I actually learned from this book was limited because of the limited background information provided by the author.
