After waiting for my turn for this book through my library, I have to say I was a bit underwhelmed. It was slow moving in the beginning, and I seriously considered DNF’ing it. I’m glad I stuck with it because it picked up and got better. It had some good character development and some good historical events mentioned but because of the slow start and many parts that were uneventful, I feel this book deserves only an average, three star rating. If asked about this book, I would say it’s worth the read.  It’s definitely not a book where I would brag about how good it is.
