I found the book deeply unpleasant to read. I think it can be classified as some sort of masculine version of chick lit - almost every scene involved either battles, daring escapes, lurid sexual escapades, or some sort of historical event that our main characters play a critical but totally behind-the-scenes role in. I really didn't like any of the people, and not a lot of the events either (plenty of rape, incest, blackmail, murder, etc.).
