Meh. There were lots of things about this book I found frustrating: it is not what you might call tightly plotted, there are constant perspective shifts, many of the revelations are accomplished by the author just showing them to us instead of the protagonist figuring them out, and the entirety of the final chapter was a bit out there. Still, I did like the setting (even if the author didn't make as much of Heloise and Abelard as she might have) and I think the main character has enough potential that I am willing to pick up book two.
