Helpful Score: 7

A bit dry. Overly detailed about the history of the time. You'll be reading an interesting passage about Erasmus or Daniel, for example, and *BOOM* the reader is taken into a three page history of the family tree or political party development . I found this distracting, as I wanted to get into the story at hand. On the good side, The story itself was interesting, especially taken into context of the time. I also enjoyed reading the translations of the love letters. Should appeal to German historians or those fascinated with 17th century customs.
