I really enjoyed this book! It was well written and the historical aspects seemed to be thoroughly researched. I have read a couple real life accounts of people walking the Camino De Santiago and was excited when I saw this novel featuring the famous pilgrimage. I think having the background information I had going in helped me get immediately caught up in the story of theses two couples making their own pilgrimage for two very different reasons AND in two different time periods.

I wasn’t sure how the two time periods was going to work. At first I had to adjust as we switched from one to the other but I was soon invested in both stories and fascinated with how both Amy & Aimee handled their adventures with the handicap of being blind. The historical setting of Luc and Aimee's Templar story was completely fascinating, exciting and had me wanting more. I actually felt the contemporary story of Luke and Amy sometimes got in the way being a little too romance oriented for my tastes. Due to this small irritation I am giving the book a 4.5 rating rather than the full 5 stars. But I would highly recommend this, especially to those who like historical fiction. 

My thanks goes to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy and an opportunity to review this book.
