Pros & Cons
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.
