Review: Mediocre characters, with largely monotonous plot

This book felt unnecessarily long. I understand that this could be the author attempting to mirror the long and arduous journey Evelyn and her sisters are going through, but I don't think it was done particularly well.First of all, for having lived thousands of years Evelyn is quite immature. She constantly is on the verge of slipping vital information (and often times does). I get that she's not used to trusting people besides her sisters, but she is full of herself; if you've been kidnapped and tortured and lost your purse during said kidnapping, do you really think it's a great idea to run off by yourself and try to withdraw money from a bank? No.Second, there is a decent love story woven throughout with a potential for another. Evelyn and Rhett clearly are attracted to each other, which they both mention multiple times, and is pointed out to them by other characters in the book. There's only one sex scene, so it depends on if you're into that or not, but it felt like the timing was good and flowed just fine.I did like the relationship between the sisters and Rhett's family. There's really only one plot twist in this, but the entire book is essentially Evelyn and her sisters running away from the Knights Templar, just like they have since the beginning of time.Glad I got this for free. Not very interested in reading a sequel, but if you're into reading about Knights Templar, this might be fore you.
