Review
I read this epic 1,000 page book in only 2 weeks which is definitely sign as to how much I absolutely loved this book. It was so good I couldn't stay away! For a 1,000 page book I was so surprised by how the story line never dragged or got old and how the author managed to keep the twists and turns coming. I loved the historical aspect of the book and the characters were top notch. I highly recommend this book and I have to say, this may be my new all time favorite book!
