When I first picked up this book, I wasn't too sure about it, but I ended liking it more than I thought I would!
The storytelling in the book was good; especially since a lot of historical information was used. The author did a good job of writing the characters' dialog that matches with the time period, but not so old that it was difficult to read/understand. I also really liked that at the end of the book, the author included where they strayed from facts.
Overall, the book is a bit boring, but that might just be my bias since I'm not super into historical books. I do wish the book was a little longer. The ending felt unfinished. The epilogue was nice to have, and reading the futures of some of the characters seemed like they would have been more of an interesting ream imo.
