This work could have hit every fictional bull's eye available to an M/M author as its premises had it all: interesting characters plunged in a world choke-full of wild adventures; fantasy/alternate reality elements to smooth all inconvenient historical details; a wild imagination in creating settings and side characters. Everything was there. Is there.
Unfortunately the author is not experienced/skilled enough and the disappointment is so much bigger because of the wasted potential.
The book is far too short; the plot is not well developped with too many events told and not shown and too many situations hurried through and not savoured; characters are described, not outlined. I also miss the far-reaching outlook of the gifted story-teller which is always useful in a novel, but essential in fantasy/period romance.
P.S. while I always prefer footnotes, a glossary is welcome all the same, but this one includes many words that should be well known.
