I noticed the Falls of Erith in the history section, so gave it a try.  And yes, I got it due to the prior cover.  So sue me.  Nice work by the illustrator.The author is a very good writer, with good characterizations.Gray is a strong female presence, which I appreciate.  Not a fan of wilting flowers.  I'm very fond of Braxton also, but probably for a strange reason.  He's one bad mutha.  He's unrepentantly a guy you do not want to cross, and I appreciate that honesty.  If you cross him or hurt those he cares about, he will burn your home around you and kill your entire family.  Not a white knight, but a very real character.  The grandmother is also well done - she seems very realistic for the time.The author also shows the place of women in the Middle Ages quite well.I skipped over the sex scenes, so can't really judge them.I was able to pick this up while free.  7,693 locations long, so pretty sizable.
