I'm generally not big into historical fiction, simply because so often it seems like the authors want to "show off" all the research they did. But this book is amazing. Deep, rich characters, tension, torture, war, all based on true events and in some cases actual people--yet the historical setting and details never bog it down. It's not for the faint of heart--some of the violence is very explicit. But Bell only uses the violence to illustrate the times and the characters, never gratuitously. A brilliant book. Can't wait to read the next installment of this trilogy.
