I feel like this book has so many interesting traits, starting from the fact that it discussed about a period and geographical area I personally didn't know all too well, which made me very curious about it and I literally devored the book. My main problem is that I felt like this book many times didn't deliver on many of the secrets kept, enough that they felt like they were more interesting as secrets than as revelations, making me a bit frustrated with some of the choices that felt forced and a bit politically correct.

Either way I think it's a very interesting book which I'd highly recommend, especially for the historical background.
