Honestly I was just a tad disappointed with this entry. The constant shifting in storylines was distracting, and I really couldn't get interested in the medieval parts -- in the end, I just started skipping those. And Dr. Brockton suddenly crushing on Miranda was a little icky to me. Where did that come from?

I guess this book being set in a totally different location took me out of my comfort zone. To fans of the exotic, this won't be a problem. Me, I kinda missed Tennessee. On the bright side, I love art and paintings, which is a thread that ran through this book and fascinated me.

Overall not the strongest entry in the series, but some people may love it just for the subjects it covers.
