Anyway, that aside, this was a solid read. Beanland did a good job of balancing action with plot and character development. The fire itself was interesting and really well-written. It took me by surprise how well-done the aftermath was. While there was focus on multiple characters, it was easy to keep track of who was who, and enough time was devoted to each character that it was easy to sympathize with them and care about their plotlines. Obviously Beanland has a great love for history and it shows in the care she took writing this book.
