I Loved the first half of this book - it was filled with well reseached history of the brutal times of the 9th century - life, rules, law, medicine etc. Then the author decided to turn it into a romance and it lost me. Its hard to write historical fiction I am sure, but I think the author wasnt sure where she was going with this book. Nevertheless it was still a fairly interesting read.
