This one was 491 pages! Grrr! You know, I kind of feel bad. Like I said, normally I would not bash a writer, especially a new writer, but I looked and this woman is not new, has several other books. I still don't want to be mean though. The premise of the story was really, really. I was so excited for the first half of the book. But somewhere, it's like she got lost in her own mystery. Initially she set it up well and I love the historical stuff, but really she put in too many subplots and "diversions" that she didn't seem really able to sew it all up. I don't know all the technical terms, I just know that there were like 6 subplots that were never resolved. Too many minor/major characters whose story wasn't finished. When I got to the end I actually screamed in frustration and started asking questions (aloud to no one). Like I said the premise was a good one, but she didn't execute it well at all in my opinion.
