This book is a completely different genre to the books I usually read, however I loved it. It was clear that the author did a lot of research when writing this book, as I found it to be highly historically accurate. This was great as it allowed the plot and the characters to seem highly realistic and therefore relatable. Luckily, even though this book is 4th in the series it can be read as a stand alone book, however I feel that if I had read the previous books I would have loved it even more. Therefore, I plan on buying the previous books in the series to learn more about the characters past. It was an easy read and the book flowed really well. I have already recommended this book to family members and friends.
