- started this earlier in the year and dnf'd because it just bored me, i think i just tried to read it too close to the previous philippa gregory book
- it's basically the same as the last book, but told from a different perspective. interesting to see how easily i change loyalties when i read a new perspective!
- it's not bad but not mindblowing, to be honest. there's a lot of times where i struggle to remember who belongs to which house, who's on whose side etc., there's a lot of people and i just don't remember them all
- more enjoyable than the first time, but doubt i'd re-read any of these books!
