The Dark Queens: The Bloody Rivalry That Forged the Medieval World by Shelley Puhak
informative
medium-paced
4.0
I’ve been battling library holds with this one for weeks, and finally finished it with my kindle on airplane mode!
I haven’t read anything about this time period, honestly. What an interesting and tragic story. I appreciate the way the author told it, as she had to jump through quite a few hoops to connect the bits and pieces we had about these two queens.
I had a hard time following all of the players—I wish I would have printed out the “character” list in the front. It was just plain difficult to follow sometimes, but it’s really not a fault of the author.
If you’re interested in medieval history surrounding women, definitely check this one out!
