The Queen's Vow: A Novel of Isabella of Castile by C.W. Gortner

3.0

I learned a lot about Isabella of Castile by reading this book. I knew relatively little about her before reading this book, and I can always appreciate a learning experience. She was a fascinating person to explore. I do have to say that I preferred the first half of the book to the second. I found that the beginning was quite detailed and easy to imagine. As the book progressed, I felt that it became a bit more inconsistent. It lagged at times, and jumped forward at others. I could have maybe done a bit less with the Reconquista, and preferred to instead follow Isabella for a bit longer than the book did.
