I found this book tended to be sometimes like a textbook, then like a novel, and back and forth. That being said, I don't mind lots of historical facts so I enjoyed it. It's really interesting to see this time period in China and also read about the life of Empress Dowager Cixi (known as Orchid in this book). I recommend this if you like historical fiction, and for teens and adults alike.
