This one was a pleasant surprise. Well-plotted. Interesting characters. Good balance of historical fiction and mystery. I am looking forward to reading the next one.
My only critiques are that there are sections heavy in dialogue that could use some description, and the banter can go on a tad too long. Also, sometimes the backstory felt forced in its reveal, like it was dumped out into big paragraphs.
Other than that, this novel far exceeded my expectations and I hope that the series gets better and better as we go along.
