Review:

This was such a hard book to read!  Italicized quotations in several different languages went untranslated--I was constantly looking up Latin phrases.  One might argue that these didn't really matter to the book, but it feels like that conclusion is the author looking down at the reader.  The book was plodding and the plot was disjoint.  I truly didn't care about any of the characters.  Blech.
