This story was very interesting i did feel that it look a long time to get to some of the more exciting parts of the story. I love the danger scences when the elders attack, i wanted more action. I also felt that i was left hanging with a lot of unanswered question which i guess is the point so i read the next one right. I want to know more about the bookmarks, how things play out for wiliam and elisabeth, how the year goes at oxford, what is her oma hiding ugh so much i need answers to. This was a great first book just lacked a little in the action department.
