This was one of those books that I kept checking my % in order to see how much further I had to go before finishing it.The story started falling apart after a not too bad beginning.I felt that the dialogue was too modern at times. I think it sounds better if they had stayed in  lodgings instead of an apartment. And for this time period I much prefer bed chamber to bedroom.The 'soldiers' were in a battle and after that they just seemed to hang out together not doing much of anything at all. Reminded me of college buds on vacation/spring break.The story jumped around quite a bit too. Shortly after a situation would surface, it was just as shortly dealt with...and there was alot of situations in this book. None lasted long enough to really grab my attention and hold it.Another thing that drove me to distraction was Mari's constant weeping, crying and sobbing. Suck it up and put a sock in it.The ending was also chopped. Where/how were Mari and Callum going to live since they had to leave the castle for one or two years? What became of their friends, especially Duncan? What happened to the not well Hannah?For me, this was not an enjoyable read.
