Where was the editor on this book? There were so many mistakes and redundant ideas that I wondered if it had been through the editing process at all. She seemed to use whole paragraphs over again in different parts of the novel, as if the reader wouldn't remember what she had written just 20 pages before.

I'm no history scholar, but seriously doubt that her main character's treatment as a slave would have been so rosy. Her characters just weren't really believable.
