In March 2020, I bought the third book in Hilary Mantel's Thomas Cromwell series three days after it came out, my recreational reading for the two weeks I thought I would spend at home. Four years later, I have finally finished it. Hilary, thank you.

Not as breathtakingly beautiful as the first two books, but still really good.

What a journey. I LOVED these three books. They were definitely a challenge for me and not my usual genre but im so glad I picked them up, this book was a brilliant conclusion to an epic series.
