I had a lot of trouble getting into this book because I feel like there are a lot of unnecessary details. I am one of those readers who does not love all the details. However, the details are beautifully described and it's the type of thing my husband would love. The imagery of it is amazing as everything is described. However, I have trouble getting into books that are written like this, but I think that's just a reader's opinion. This author is very skilled in writing and the cover is gorgeous!

I recommend this book, especially if you enjoy beautifully written details. I give it three stars. ***

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
