I tried and tried and tried, I just couldn't enjoy this book, I really wanted to, but I just couldn't.

It started off kind of weird, and If I am being honest, I skipped the prologue, It was very hard to follow. You have to know, I love history, so I assumed I would love this book (I mean, how could I not?) but it was really just an odd book.

I thought the whole novel was hard to follow and had moments where I had no clue what was going on.

The book itself looks very nice, it's a goregous book and the layout on the back matched it perfectly. I guess what I am trying to say is ... that it would be much better as a shelf book then a reading book. I am so bummed I did not enjoy this book.

I thank 'Blogging For Books' for graciously sending me an ARC of this novel.
