What the hell happened?
By the end of this book, the only thing you'll realise is that the whole story was completely pointless.
All that fannying about from one country to the next and one time to the next was really just a cover for the fact that:
a) it is Romeo and Juliet with a happier ending (unsuitable love match due to family conflict)
b) it is Twilight (poor vampire husband can't control himself round the mrs)
c) it is every 'i'm-a-nobody-but-all-of-a-sudden-i'm-the-chosen-one' story you've ever read
There was no real closure, no point. In the end, what did the Ashmole manuscript actually do? Bugger all. Plus, good luck if you wanted an action packed finish with the baddie, couple of paragraphs and we're back to more country hopping.
Yawn.

Plus, the first two are better!
