This book was slow to start but the second half of the book the pace was better and the last couple of chapters were great. I'm embarrassed to say that I totally missed the King in love with 'Genevieve' who is in love with his best friend and best soldier. Goodness how'd I miss that in the first book?I am glad I waited to read the second book until the third came out as this book also ends on a bit of a cliff hanger. Starting book 3 now Once again I flew through the series before writing my reviews so the books are a little mixed up in my head! However, this book is even better than the first! The characters will pull at your heart strings like crazy! There were so many things going on and Anderson does a perfect job at keeping it right on the line of blowing your mind and being too crazy! William is such an interesting character! Is he good? Is he bad? Neither. Somewhere in the middle, maybe you can blame it on his upbringing and surroundings, who knows! One thing I know for sure is that I could not have survived in this day and age! I love reading how discreetly people found a way of displaying things and all the subtle ways things were hinted at while holding court with the King. Anderson does such a good job at writing her story you find yourself utterly lost in the tale and surprised to find you are not in the 1500's. I cannot even remember critiquing her writing because I was simply so lost in the plots, and most importantly in Dom and Minuette!
Had so much fun with this. now I have to wait MONTHS for the final book of the trilogy. GRR
