This was a fun, light read. The writing was easy to follow and the story flowed very nicely. The authors were able to successfully transport me to another time and place without drowning the story in boring unnecessary details like most historical fictions books I have read. The characters were also very well developed and each one had their own voice in my head. The romance left something to be desired though. There was just no chemistry between the two main characters. I felt no butterflies, there was no swooning and I never felt invested in their relationship. This is one of those books where I think if ever made the big screen, the movie would be better than the book. 
 Character Casting.
