Not quite as enjoyable as the first book in the series, mostly due to repetition between the two books. I get easily annoyed when authors try to recap too much of the previous book(s) in the sequel(s). The overall mystery was very intriguing, and I like the way the author plays with alternate versions of real historical people and events, but the pacing seemed uneven. Parts of the book just dragged for me, and I admit I skimmed large portions of certain chapters because they didn't really seem to be moving the plot forward or developing the characters in any real way.
