Very great book. It takes a while to get used to the writing and expression, but then the story grabs you right up to the last sentence.

caveignoscas's review against another edition
The writing is pretty, but there's too many dated concepts. If you're one of these people who care more about the decorative writing than the plot, you might still enjoy it. But if you feel like you'd get upset by repetitive claims how the 2 queens were weak and illogical and capable of throwing everything to the wind for moment's passion, just because they're women (that did not stop the author from claiming they were the most powerful and the only relevant people at the time), or by romanticising rape , then I wouldn't recommend.
