Captivating historical fiction

If only our history lessons could have been presented in such a captivating format, we all would have done much better in school. However, this is a work of fiction meant for entertainment, and entertain it did. It depicts the lives of three princesses, each of whom found themselves bound to Mongol warriors and connected through writing in the same journal about their experiences during the Mongol invasions. The author's writing was simply outstanding, with descriptions that effortlessly came to life, transporting us to another time and place. The choice of narrator was spot on, and her voice was a perfect fit for the story, greatly enhancing the immersive experience.
