Summary: I'd really perfer to give it a 3 1/2 star rating
Review: Ok, I committed a major faux paux by reading this book first. I realize that it is the 2nd in a trilogy, and if I can find them, I am going to read the other two also. I am not sure if I can rightfully condemn or condone this story without reading the others first. The story itself was interesting and covered a time period and location not often written about. Ms. Delacroix's story went into some details about the life on the Asian plains, yet I felt it was a little vague. I would have liked to have seen more detail. After recently returning from Istambul, I would have love to have seen a description of the beautiful city and its mosques (or Medeival Paris, or any of the other cities we visited in the story). Besides the major plotline, there was not much deviation into details. The cities were vague enough to have been anywhere. At any time period.Also, I felt it a bit disconcerting that the plot was not more developed. The reader understood exactly what was going on, but nothing was resolved. (I suppose that is waiting in the last book, but this book just seemed to be passing time, and another generation, to the next plot). I felt the book was well written and worth reading, I would just like to see it better developed.
