Title: Compelling characters, predictable situations
Product review: I agree with the reviewers that described this book as a bit slow, but I found it to be an enjoyable read. The characters were well-developed and I hoped they would be in an 'epic' style novel. There is plenty of time to get to know the characters and be invested in the story of each. Individually, however, I do not feel there were many elements of surprise. The only real twists came near the end of the story. Otherwise, the challenges faced by the characters are similar to other historical novels. This was not my favorite book of the decade by any means but it was still fun to read as long as your expectations are not too high.
