Solid premise and plotting.  The writing was somewhat simplistic and straightforward and not very smooth, especially at the beginning.  There were a lot of well-researched historical details that were interesting but inserted into the story like glossary detours instead of either having a dedicated glossary or trusting the reader to look up terms themselves.  Despite that minor distraction, it was a sweet story and a quick read.
