It is obvious that the author did a great deal of research as evidenced at the end of the novel. For the most part I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I believe there was a Pope Joan and feel the author has built a good case. There was quite a bit of suspense which I look for in a novel. There were many lagging sections but some of it I just skipped through. I know the politics of the times drove much of the plot. However in a "tunnel vision" mode of reading, I just wanted to get Joan made Pope and see how it ended. The end seemed so far away. When it finally came, with the politically tense climate, it was very well written and very believable.
