I first read this in high school and it was hard to get through but when I read it last year, I could not beleive I had not read it sooner! This book really got my history nerve. I enjoyed this book and want to read the rest of her novels.
Greater reviews than I could write have already been written. I'll just say simply "A great book": leaves you wanting so much more...thank goodness for Falls the Shadow and the Reckoning. I obsessed about these times and these people for the wonderful weeks I was reading about them.
My favorite author and books by far! ...more
