Check out the full review at Kritters Ramblings
An epic historical fiction that doesn't center completely around the King or Queen, but instead a cousin of his who is under his guardianship as her father has been murdered. Joan the cousin of the King is caught between three men - some love her, some need her, but all have to have her for a place in court.
Quite the hunk of a book, but perfect to curl up with on a holiday weekend and just get swept into the past where the rules are very different. The characters were pulled from history and I loved looking up to find out where the truth met fiction and trying to guess what was completely true and what came from the author's imagination of the time and place. My favorite part of historical fiction is the basis of truth with an element of story added in.
