I really wanted to like this book, but unfortunately, this book was another one I've read recently with a great premise that just fell flat for me. I found this hard to follow, and the characters didn't pop for me. It was interesting at some points, and I enjoyed learning about a period of history thar I know little about, but I didn't get a lot of it.
