This book is a quick and entertaining read. I prefer the first book in this (soon-to-be-trilogy) but I still enjoyed this book very much. My only complaint is that the author spent so much time catching up the reader (for those of them who have not read the first book). I understand that she wants each novel to stand on its own but the re-hashing was corny and onerous.

Other than that single complaint, this is a great piece of historical fiction-- not for those sticklers though who prefer their novels to be as historically accurate as possible. Nonetheless, it's smart, entertaining and I can't wait to read the next one.
