This book was received as an ARC from St. Martin's Press - Minotaur Books in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.
I was totally into the concept of this book from the start and all of the relating corresponding stories are so intriguing. There is the story of Minou and Piet and attending the royal wedding to bring an end to a holy war. Just when peace was around the corner, the evil Vidal is on the search for an ancient relic of its power to end the world as we know it. As he gets closer and closer, Minou's family is scattered and suffering piece by piece. This book did jump but however still correlated with the plot which not only made it easier to read but much easier to visualize and be part of the story. I know our community will have a lot of great words to say about this book and will enjoy it to the max.
We will consider adding this title to our Historical Fiction collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.
