Under developed characters
Too many loose ends. I liked the story but was left dangling, so I bought the second book in the series which also left all but one of the characters in never never land. Many other similar titled books by various authors. A bit confusing.

This book was good
I enjoyed this book on the work if Florence Nightingale nurses during the Crimean war would recommend it
