The start of the book was promising, and I looked forward to learning a few things about the royal court of France. Compared to the first installment, I found the writing to be more fluent and readable.However, there were some lengths in the second half of the book which made it hard for me to pick up the book and read on, with the actions of some of the characters seeming rather arbitrary. I got the feeling that the uncovering of some of the villains and the ultimate showdown were postponed unnecessarily. That said, the finale on last 50 pages or so, was quite breathtaking and included some nice twists. ( )
