This book was hard for me to get into ... at first. Usually I won't stick with them if I'm not enticed by the end of the first chapter or two. This one took about 40 pages, but I finally started getting it. The writing is choppy, and the author is no fine and poetic storyteller, but she presented a great plot and stuck with it. The historical content was fantastic, and I loved the interplay between good and evil. I also loved the flawed humanity presented here, but also the understanding of how too great of an evil in a person is inexcusable. By the middle of the book, I couldn't put it down and was sorry to see it end. I wanted the characters to go on and on. A worthy read and much better than a pool-side novel.
