I love this series, but this was the first one I thought took too long and was too slow. I was excited at first, an ancient secret monks monastery mystery? Whoa! But it wasn't as beautiful a mystery as the titel suggests. And for most of the book I kept wondering where it was about. I now know ofcourse. And it leaves me heartbroken. Still, the mystery itself could have been a lot more intriguing!
