Review of 'The dovekeepers' on 'Storygraph'

Great book-beautifully written and amazingly researched. Occasionally I was bored, but this was the type of book I could set down for three months (which I did) and not feel like I was forgetting anything when I picked it up again. The last section was definitely my favorite. Overall great book.
