While I did enjoy this book, and actually read it on the recommendation from another author while reading a different book, I found myself fighting to read the last few chapters of the military battle. I do love historical fiction, and military history, but for some reason this took more effort than I had planned. I did enjoy the story overall, and thought the book very well planned out and researched to be historically accurate. If you love this time period and are a history or military buff, you will like this book.
She's a master of the description of 'parties, party behavior etc of the time period' but this book was endless that and got tedious..it was..a few pages of what was happening with Napoleon, back to parties, an ounce of romance, then repeat...not enough substance.
A great book! Babs is fascinating and knowing the historical notes are accurate just increased my enjoyment.
