Even if I was to like the look of this book, it is the sixth in a series, and seeing as I have never heard of the series before, let alone read it, I really don't think that I could give it a go, even if I wanted to. I have never been a fan of historical fiction, and it is a shame, as there are so many books out there which seem good, but the fact that they are set so far in the past puts me off.
