Review:
I received this book from the author for review.
I feel conflicted, on one hand, I was asked very kindly to review this book, but on the other, I didn't really like it.
The book has promise but needs refinement. The formatting issues aside, which is nothing wrong with the book, the file just didn't transfer well and put odd spaces between paragraphs and sentences. The characters and some of the dialog didn't really match up to 13th-century Spain.
The pacing was really slow for much of the book, and there were some redundancies that slowed things down. I also struggled to connect with the characters, some of their actions and reactions didn't seem, to me, the way people would or should react to things. But that might be more of a preference than anything else.
With some more refinement and some more editing, this could be a great book.
