Almost wonderful, but.......
This book unfortunately does not fulfill the promise of the last one. There is barely enough story here to fill the pages. I spent a great deal of time waiting for something, anything, to happen. I made through the whole book, which I won't do for bad books, but not because I was carried away by the plot. It doesn't feel like 1600. The pistols worked too easily. Everyone had a bed. But even with all of that, I'm looking forward to the next installment. I continue to hope that the author will catch up with the promise of the writing. These are just on the cusp of being wonderful books.
