My Review:
I have really enjoyed this whole series so far. While I tend to read a lot of historical fiction, this series challenges me to also read historical stories outside of my typical time periods and events. While I certainly have my favorites in the series, there aren’t any so far that I’ve really disliked.
Considering the fact that I read this book in one sitting, I certainly found it interesting. I was fairly underwhelmed by a lack of action though. It didn’t have a satisfying conclusion to several pieces of the story and it ended too abruptly. I enjoyed reading about Ellis and Clay and how their relationship developed, and I got a few laughs out of some of their witty humor. I would have liked to see more development behind Clay’s past and his special mission.
So while I have some mixed emotions about this chapter in the series, I’m still glad I read it and can’t wait to see what comes next. I would have liked to see more to the ending, but I enjoyed the rest of the story. I’d easily recommend it to other historical fiction fans.

Rating: 
This is a series I am reading. I am watching for others’ reactions, after I have posted mine, to see how they line up. Thinking I may have missed something here.
What do you think you missed?
Perhaps I blithely overrated it, as I read others’ take on the ending. I was so taken with the tie-in to the other book, that I just adored!
Well like I said, I have a whole lot of love for the series so I agree with loving it when you find connections between them. It’s personal taste and everyone will have their different favorites 🙂
I so want to read this!!
I hope you get the chance! I recommend the whole series!
