Writing was at times very beautiful. I was drawn in by the premise, and the plot overall held my interest. I would have appreciated more character development— at times the book fell into the historical fiction trap of relying on historical settings and plot lines instead of really fleshing out characters. I liked the ending, but the way everything fell together was way too tidy and relied too much on coincidences.
