Even knowing the people we were learning about in the first half of the book would be players in the tragedy, I still found it pedantic. I did feel the second half read much faster and did enjoy it. I also learned a lot about the times as well as the event.
I have now returned to the scholarly account of the Salam witch trials, The Witches. As far a being plodding in pace is concerned, it is a bit too similar to my last book. But, since I am returning to about the middle, hopefully the pace will increase.
