The first word that comes to my mind after reading this book is epic.
An enthralling page turner that I couldn't put down is well researched and gripping.
I read it as fast as could and loved the vivid historical background, the interesting and fleshed out characters and the plot that keeps you hooked.
It's the first book I read by this author and won't surely be the last.
An excellent and enjoyable read, highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
