As a fan of retellings, this one was my least favorite so far. There were too many diversions from the main plot without focusing enough on one storyline. It made it difficult to connect and understand characters. I know there were many moments when I should have felt suspense but I found the story dragging. I kept reading hoping I would find it more engaging.
