O Segredo dos Segredos

Brown weaves real history into the fiction seamlessly — did this enhance the mystery for others or feel like too much info-dumping?

I was hooked at the start but felt the story dragged a bit midway. Was that intentional to build tension or just a pacing choice?

It really adds a layer of intrigue, but I wonder if the author intended to comment on real-world power structures or just craft a compelling plot.
