Good story, got sucked into it pretty quickly, but then it let go of me, then it pulled me back in, then it let go again... Yea. I liked it whan it was all over, but the momentum left much to be desired. The ending was a little pat, though there was LOTS of historical detail that I was sadly unaware of.
