I enjoyed this book, it covers a part of history that I don't know too much about. The central plot is well embedded in historical fact and the author really evokes a sense of place and time. There is a lot about race, politics, religion and war, all discussed by the main characters with a wry humour. I will certainly read the rest of the series as I felt the characters will develop more over future instalments, but in this book they got a little lost at the beginning underneath the plot.
