Enjoyed the story and the bits of legend and history incorporated. Don't usually write reviews for this kind of fiction, but I felt the need to include a disclaimer, since I wouldn't recommend it without one (especially as a married Christian woman). This is the first book I've read where I had to skim through any kind of sex scene. Though not immensely graphic, I did feel like the level of description in those few scenes was unnecessary to the story and not something I felt particularly edified by. But obviously it wasn't over the top enough that I quit reading rather than just skipping and continuing.
