Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Author ensnares his reader with historical facts and just enough modern english script to keep the prose moving smoothly. Narrative framework is carefully drawn from historical sources.

Ij r tomlin weaves a tale of the imprisonment & maturation of a young king james stewart. Born in medieval scottland, he was kidnapped and imprisoned by king henry of england.



Cons

Even without all this character-muddling, the story is not terribly compelling. But that’s nothing when compared to the confusion of characters.
