I really enjoyed the medieval story. I didn't always enjoy the way it was written. I give it 3 and a half stars for its entertaining quality. If you enjoy medieval stories about love, loss, war and revenge, then this is the book for you.
I expected more out of this book. It didn't really keep my attention. I was reading alot of JP at that time and thought at the time that it came out that it was seemed pretty "forced".
