Didn't really like the look of this book when I first come across it as I find old fashioned books to be very boring and lacking in excitement but once I started reading it it was actually pretty decent for a genre I don't really read ..it mixed in action with Shakespeare's which I thought was very good and the plot of the book was very unique as you don't get many assassin books mixed with old England themes so I thought that was very interesting.. the writing styles was very descriptive but not over the top and really painted a picture of the scenery in your head so easy to follow the story each character was very unique and individual from one another. I would definitely reccomend this book.
