If I liked mysteries a little more I think I would have loved this book. However I like a little bit more romance and a little less mystery. 
 I do really recommend the book for mystery lovers. 
 (view spoiler)[ p.s did anyone else think it was a bit disapointing that he had a baby with the Emperor's wife... he was after all suppose to be very loyal and he was working for them at the time.... Hope there is a good explanation for that one. (hide spoiler)]
