This book gave a fast passed,character driven and action oriented ride. This is well written from the premis that draws the reader in from page one, to the multiple and original characters that bring the end of the book to an explosive finish. The historical feel was right on as was the action to drama. I LOVED this book. There was no way to put it down. I can not wait to pick up another by A.R.Homer. Huge fan now!!

I couldn't put it down and was equally invested in the divergent tales, even before they came together.
