I wasn't a huge fan of her previous works, but she keeps getting good reviews so I gave this series a go as well. This is more of a mystery than anything else, with some dashes of romance and scifi (I don't know why it's labeled fantasy particularly) and historical fiction. I feel like the historical setting and context wasn't that well done here - it felt like you were supposed to remember all the players from These Violent Delights.
