Review
Fantastic! Best in the Series! This book (as well as the first two in the series) is so well written. I love the character development, the world building, and the story is fast paced and fun. I am 33…and I recommend this series to everyone I know who is a reader because it is so good. This third book is my favorite in the series so far with a fast paced story that sucks you in right away. It's a clean book with no bad language, some minor violence, and just a hint of romance (but nothing inappropriate for very young children). A wonderful mystery and great historical fiction. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
