I'd file this under "historical fiction light," not unlike The Boleyn Girl or similar novels.

Overall, I thought it was an impressive first book by a new author, however, at times it didn't seem to have a plot line, rather it pulled together different incidents... sometimes you'd get a daily blow by blow and then other times, six months had gone by.

I couldn't help comparing it to the Cleopatra book by Margaret George-- and this wasn't anywhere close to the same kind of detail, hence the three stars.
