I waited a long time for this book to arrive. I did feel book three was very rushed, the pace was faster and it felt like large chunks were missing, the ending was not satisfying, it felt a bit abrupt. To be honest if I was given 300 more pages that would have been completely fine! That being said, it was very enjoyable, it's still up there amongst my favourite historical fiction series.
