I'm kind of torn about this one. On one hand, it was a fun page-turner, with fairly vivid characters, some fun history, a smidge of time-travel without over-doing that element (I kept being afraid she would start hopping back and forth). It's also got that epic sprawl thing going on (although a touch of editing down wouldn't have hurt) so that you can read it quickly and still have it last for a while. In that sense it reminded me of Jennifer Donnelly's Rose books - the fluff/historical combo, w

I won this book from Goodreads! I'd heard a lot of positive reviews, but didn't think I'd care much for it. I took a chance when I saw it in the Goodreads giveaways, figuring that if I won it and didn't like it, I wasn't out money, a trip to the library, or a PBS credit. I'm glad I did!

An interesting time-travel type book.
I have this habit of coming back to old previously read books and trying to see if I still enjoy them as much as I did then. This was the first one of an 8 book ebundle of the series to this point and am glad to see I still enjoy it very much.
Finally reading this...
