I was really excited about the premise and setting of this book, but I was left wanting more. It was a good story but just not well supported with the details I was waiting for. Maybe this historical fiction was lacking the research needed to bring it to life, I couldn't picture the places she travelled and I didn't care much what happened to the characters, removing emotion from events that should have been emotional. I also didn't like the way the servants were characterized. It was overly simplistic, which was unfortunate as they were a big part of the story. At the end of the day, I still enjoyed the book. But it was disappointing because I feel it had so much more potential.
