I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book. Reading about how and when it came to be created and the general idea of the storyline I thought it could be a curious tale that might hold my interest. In the end it proved to pull me in and keep me interested much more than I would have thought possible before I opened the cover the first time. There were some distractions, like the regular interjection of Latin, which found impossible to completely translate in almost every instance with what little I know about Latin, and just as impossible to completely ignore. It worked within the context, but at times felt like a little too much. Side plots were just vague enough to lead to thoughtfulness, but not so vague as to seem completely unrelated. All in all a surprising good read.
