I was a little disappointed. A pleasant enough read, but in my personal opinion, I was hoping for more of the historical element. It was a lot of dialogue between the characters, especially the children, without really getting much development and setting building. All in all, I should have read the summary more throughly. It was a romance, and that was the main focus, as opposed to the rich culture and history surrounding this moment and this area. I also felt a lot of the side characters and back story were rushed and ended up to be more distracting than enriching.
