I loved this one so much! I spent the entire book telling myself to slow down and savor the tale and also not being able to put the book down. I was captivated from beginning to end, swept back in time to live the tale along with the characters. The story is rich in detail and historical facts mixed in with the fiction. I love story unfolds over time which feels more realistic and gives you time to really become invested in the characters. Everything about this one is magical!
