How many rape scenes can you fit in one book? Flat characters (unless you’re talking about breasts, which the author does A LOT), repetitive plot and prose, literally reminding us what we read about earlier. But with an overstuffed 900+ pages, maybe he thought we would need the reminders? There are far, far better historical novels out there. The title may be the best part of the book.
