And now, a review that belays any sense of intelligence gained by reading this book:
Omg Walsingham was perf and he is bae.
I legitimately teared up whenever his ill-health was mentioned, and so nearly cried when he died.
In all seriousness though, such a good book, even if it did take me weeks to read. Walsingham is such a fascinating and amazing character, and Robert Hutchinson makes reading about him such a joy
