I love the Lady Trent memoirs, and I really enjoyed this. I really loved the slow uncovering of the ancient legend, and the discussions of the minutae of translating. I also really enjoyed seeing through various people's perspectives.

My main issue with the book is that Mornett's feelings and actions make no sense
namely, I don't understand how he 1. stole Audrey's work if he is ~in love~ with her, and nor do i understand why he seems to think it's no biggie and she'll just get over it? He never explains. It's never explained and it drives me mad
