I really enjoyed this - it's for more thorough than other books in the series, which generally have one conflict and then wrap up over a cliff, relegating everything to the epilogue. This was vibrant and interesting, especially because I was wholly ignorant of this part of history. She seems like an interesting lady. 

I recommend to young readers, and fans of the series, as well as this period of time history.
