Status Updates From The Splendour Falls

Chapter 4 of 34... Wondering when this will get interesting. Too many characters being introduced and no plot advancement to this point.

I am interested in the history of this town she is in, in France, called Chinon. I am interested in how the history of King John's wife, Isabella comes into play with this book. I am a history major, but the history of England in this time period never did interest me much, and I never noticed any of the wives names until we get to Henry VIII.

So far am enjoying this book. The main character, Emily, seem to be a bit lost and I don't know if it's because of her parents divorce or what. There seems to be a weird vibe between her and her cousin Harry though. I don't think that the author meant there to be a vibe there, but they act a little too much like lovers and not cousins.
