4 out of 5 stars

I was skeptical at first, but this novel turned out very well. I wish I would have known about the language glossary in the back before I began reading; that would have saved a lot of my confusion.

As long as you read fairly moderately/slow and definitely pay attention, things make sense. Pay close attention to character names and nicknames to avoid confusion.

It’s kind of funny to hear a character talk about traffic in horses

I really like for the beginning of each chapter is labeled - design wise and description. One minor detail I would suggest is after the date insert (X number of years later). I’ve flipped back each time a new date is dated to determine how much time had passed.

When Melisande went to see “her majesty” I had to look back to see if she was going to see her father; I could remember his name. Her father is Louis, Godfather is George.

Some of the character go by various names so that is a little confusing as well. If I read slower than usual, I can follow along
