I enjoyed reading about Elizabeth's long life at its various points and the ending was pretty exciting, but I did get a little mad at the way it seemed she forgot that her enemy was out there (I can't be much more clear without including spoilers). After the first run in, I was able to tell who the enemy was in each scenario almost as soon as he/she was introduced. Took a little from the enjoyment of the book. But, the characters are richly developed and overall the book is an OK read.
