I really liked this story. Although there were a few things that I wasn’t too fond of. Starting with something that I got over very quickly at the beginning. I’m not much of a fan of historical anything — this leaning more toward a historical fantasy. However, I quickly got out of that mentality since this story doesn’t lean too heavily on the historical part. The second thing I had issues with was about the way Wilhelm was being kept captive and a prisoner, and all the things that were being done to him made me feel so uneasy. It was uncomfortable having to read/listen to how Teddy speaks to him. Not that it was badly written or anything, but the mental manipulation being done to Wilhelm was uncomfortable and kind of depressing for me. Overall I think this is a solid read and deserving of its 3.5 stars. I did feel like some parts could have been a bit shorter, however that’s a personal preference.
