3.0

I really enjoyed the first 100 or so pages of this novel. The period detail and political machinations are its strength. As it progressed, however, I felt it was flabby and the plot, which wasn’t the strongest element to the book, meandered. It is very overlong and it overstayed its welcome. I was happy to get it finished in the end.
