I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
From the very first moment I read the synopsis, I had a feeling I would enjoy reading this one. I am a big historical fiction fan, so mixing history with England was literally it for me. I knew I had to read this book. It was good, though a bit too low paced for my likings. I liked the soft balance between the fantasy stuff and the things that are more to today's reality.
Hostetly it's one of those times when I know I like a book, yet I don;t really know why or what to say about it. It took me some time to go through it, but it was more because I had a lot of other things to do and not because I couldn't keep reading.
