Though high-born, she was still female and had to prove her wits, mettle, and capability, in order to gain support from her male counterparts.
I already developed a liking for the book. I wish the errors are edited soon. The author's research, as you say, must be thorough for such historical fiction. Thanks for your review

Thats a valid point, I find it misleading if the author fails to distinguish between facts and fantasies. How would he even do that? like a note beneath every page? just curious. :eusa-think:
