The book starts off at a good pace. The reader is made acquainted with all the characters, a bit of mystery about the circumstances surrounding the plot is sprinkled here and there. The sub plot involving the protagonists son seemed a bit out of place, but understandable if there’s going to be more instalments in the series. I did find the book starts to get a little slow towards the end. It could’ve closed off earlier if not for the sub plot involving the son. There’s lots and lots of historical information thrown about involving sorcery and witchcraft most of which I glossed over. But others might be interested in the level of detail so I understand their place in the story.
