3.5 stars
Review: I gave this book a 3.5 star rating because I really enjoyed the book once I got hooked. The hook came a bit late for me, and it was very hard to keep reading. Once it got interesting, I was able to finish it with ease. I also enjoyed the time period in which this book takes place. I have never read a book in this time period. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants adventure, mixed with suspense, mixed with history!
