2.5

The weakest installment to date despite being set in a fascinating city. 

This lacked in charisma - no great interactions between Mary and Holmes (except at a dinner), it was meant to be a type of espionage plot but lacked the cat and mouse tension. Even the history and town felt flat. It did dispel some of the romantic notions  surrounding Jerusalem. 

This seems to be more of set up for its sequel Justice Hall.
