Time travel is always a tricky thing to figure out. But what if you could travel back in time and change one important event that results in a rewrite of history? Empire of Lies explores this "what if" and sets the story in this rewritten world. In this alternate world, the Ottoman Empire has conquered all of Europe and the story takes place in a Muslim Paris in 2017.
The book was long. I was hooked at the beginning, but reading became a chore after a while. I enjoyed the story, but I didn't get too attached to most of the characters and I didn't really care what happened to them. I tend to get frustrated with characters that make such dumb choices that I just lose interest in them. There were definitely parts of the story that I found very enjoyable, so overall I will give it 3 stars.
