Helpful Score: 3

This book was very good in comparison to some of Plaidy's other novels. It was far better than In the Shadow of the Crown, which was the most recent novel by Plaidy that I have read. Although Plaidy is enjoyable, I have come to be spoiled by Philippa Gregory's historical fiction written about this era. Plaidy is much dry in comparison, and I felt that the book would have been better if one-third had been cut from it, specifically all the wishy-washy parts. There were a few slow parts that dragged on, but overall it was a good read. Thanks for sharing!
