Changeling by Philippa Gregory
3.0

I love history and I've loved every Philippa Gregory book I've read so far yet this one I didn't like that much. Changeling is set in Italy but as a reader you don't learn much about the customs in Italy in the fifteenth century. This book focusses on the characters and their adventures.

I also didn't like how religion played such a huge role in this book. I think religion is super interesting, doesn't matter what religion it is, but in this book it was everywhere. Something I did like is that this book doesn't focus on the romance. There's little to no romance in Changeling and it's refreshing.
