I will preface this by saying that at the time (2013) I have not the chance to read this via NetGalley. I managed to track down a copy and this can provide my feedback.

Having persevered through average narrative, and characters and events that should have held my attention for far longer than they did, I was left slightly dissatisfied with the ending. The subject matter at hand (which I have detailed on my blog) could have made for a much stronger storyline. Possibly those unfamiliar with this period of history may find it more to their liking. Kudos for taking on a rather lesser-known female character and period of history; however, sometimes fiction just does not do actual history any justice.
