As a Mormon, I found it interesting to see how historical events were seen outside the Church's official view.  Most of the historical information, I remember from Seminary class.

This book does explain several events that also have happened in my lifetime within the church community.  It does serve to explain leverage buy outs & various member connections.

Entertaining with historical significance. I didn't know much about the War of the Roses, but this sparked my interest, yet still managed to have an interesting storyline. Shows the strength & implicit power of women during this time period.

An interesting read, not very believable, but entertaining.  Enough historic facts to keep it interesting coupled with suspense and some likable characters.

Historical aspect of the global slave trade was interesting. However the historical fiction aspect has been written once too often for me.

Even though the history was kind of linear, they describe a lot of past events that increase the immersion of the book.
At some points the book kind of felt slow, but then it got interesting again.

I liked the history lesson that went along with the mystery.  It was very interesting to read about something I thought I already understood, but didn't.

It introduced some history that I was not familiar with and that made it interesting.  The lead character of Grandpa was different because he was not physically powerful just very determined.  The setting in Romania was very interesting.
