I am a big fan of this author's other series, so I was eager to read this work.  As someone who has read many,many books about this time period, I thought this would be a quick read.  Wrong.  I guess the way the book unfolds for the first 30 percent is so predictably depressing I almost dropped it.Not that what he wrote was not logical, but quite the opposite.  I could follow along with the happenings all too easily.BUT then then the book starts to pick up as the Brita get a few good breaks and start to fight back.From that point on I was hooked, and thoroughly enjoyed the remainder.  I do recommend the piece, but just give it a chance.
