It was a good historical novel, in that I thought it brought that brief period to life rather well. Especially, as you say, the chaos and confusion.
I thought the portrayal of the arrogance of the upper classes, including that of our 'hero' was well done.
I was unconvinced by the Romance aspect of the story.
It was OK overall for me. I'm not inclined to seek out other works by this author.
