There were a lot of great elements in this book and I love the history that was incorporated. However, I think I enjoyed the first half more than I did the second. I can admit that I didn’t have the mystery figured out at the beginning, which is a good thing, but the pacing to me was waaaay too slow. The romance also confused me because they only started falling for each other around 50% of the book. It felt forced and almost unbelievable further along the line. Then the epilogue….oh my gosssshhhhh I hate hate hate when that happens. I just feel a little disappointed with the series of events.
