5.0

It’s hard to find a flaw with this book. The characters are so convincingly human; it feels almost jarring. I found myself regularly expecting something of a character, only for them to take me by surprise. It made for a highly engaging read which, when you consider the historical accuracy, makes for a masterpiece.
