Bok nr 3 i serien leverer varene på lik linje med sine to forgjengere; likte du bok en og to, vil du like denne også.Historisk roman, ispedd spenning og med litt såpeopera-preg (=dramatikk?). Liker godt hvordan forfatteren veksler mellom ulike karakterer slik at historien fortelles fra ulike vinkler. Selv om persongalleriet begynner å bli omfattende, blir det aldri forvirrende. Og, et stort pluss er at jeg som leser, føler at jeg "kjenner" karakterene!Jeg veksler mellom å anse dette som "kvalitetslitteratur" og såpeopera, og klarer ikke helt bestemme meg for hvilke litterære kvaliteter disse bøkene egentlig har. Men, så kommer jeg på at jeg storkoser meg med bøkene, og det er mer enn grunn nok til å lese videre, samt anbefale bøkene. (Jeg er i utgangspunktet ikke så glad i historiske romaner, da jeg ofte opplever dem som belærende eller at flyten i plottet brytes opp av fakta som "bare lempes" inn. Det er ikke tilfelle her. Her handler det først og fremom plottet og karakterens liv
