Surely the author could have set the historical scene without so many racist remarks and sexist attitudes. Also got tired of everyone beating each other to a pulp. It was an interesting story, which is why I read to the end, but one of the major plot points revolves aroundc content I don’t like reading about (incest ) so I felt rather like I wasted my time on this whole thing as it kinda ruined my enjoyment of the book.
