Oh I couldn't give this book anything other than a 5 star rating, it has everything I enjoy in a great read.An historical'romance' I've put the romance in inverted commas because it's not a typical romance with a HEA but rather a romance in the victorian sense of the word. Beautifully writen it captured my imagination right from the start. I love this time period 16th Century but not from an Elizabethan angle infact I find that period of'English' history quite boring, no it's the Venetian and Ottoman settings I love. I also love anything that includes Astronomy, maths and mathematical instruments, and this story is full of the stuff, plus there's intrigue and mystery. I also like stories which have an element of reincarnation or sixth sense.
