Surprisingly, I was extremely disappointed in this book. It was redundant in its writing, the characters were miserable and unlikeable, and even though I find this period of history interesting, this take on it was boring. It only became decent about 10 pages from the end, and I’d say if you read the first chapter and the last, you’d probably get just as much out of the book as if you’d read the entirety of it.
