The Mapmaker's Daughter

This wasn't good at all...It's a pity,because the premise was very interesting and the setting of the story in an era not much covered in Historical Fiction was promising, but the execution was quite inadequate. At times, it felt like a History lecture, most of the times it read like the cheapest romance. Poor writing, poor depiction of the era made worse by the main character's shallow, naive and flat out foolish behaviour. Too much glorification of certain historical characters for whom actual recorded History says otherwise. Perhaps, Historical Fiction isn't the suitable genre for the writer.

Two stars for the effort and because I'm feeling generous today....
