The display on my Kobo said 16%. Which is probably about the sweet spot in terms of giving it a fair trial but not throwing good time after bad.
Obviously I can’t parse someone else’s taste and a lot of people think this is great, but especially given that it’s long
and you don’t abandon books, I’d think hard. I’ll just say that overall, it struck me as a very pedestrian effort on historical fiction lines. The author used the topic to give it heft that she didn’t earn. That is, it wasn’t interesting on its own merits, but only because of the specter of JWB.
