Chains

I felt a little disappointed by this book, it failed to suck me in and drag me along for the ride like Ms. Anderson's other works always do. Still, a very solid historical fiction work, with believable, if sometimes flat, characters and, once the action picks up near the end, a very enjoyable read.

I have already requested the sequel, Forge, from the library. I'm anticipating good things as I enjoyed Isabel's interaction with Curzon, which seems set to continue.
