Title: Predictable
Review: I'm always excited for a historical novel with a female lead, so I was very excited to start this book. However, I found it laughingly predictable (the cover gives away the secret), and I found the characters to be one dimensional. Napoleon is a cliched, noisy, little man, Amy is an obnoxious, perky, heroine who acts like she lives in the 21st century. For those of you who know the term "Mary-Sue" it applies here.For all the "research" done about historical events and places, Willig forgot to look into manners and social customs. She attempts a Jane Austen tone but fails.I was expecting historical fiction along the lines of Magaret George and got a tawdry romance novel.
