A review by mimima
Devil's Brood by Sharon Kay Penman

3.0

I read this when it was published, and just reread after having revisited the predecessor "Time and Chance." I remembered it as being not as strong as most of Penman's other books, and this reread has confirmed that impression. Usually, you get lost in Penman's story and feel like you are a fish out of water when not reading it. This is good, it's just not to that caliber. I'm not sure if it is the amount of political machinations that are involved or just the weariness of Henry and Eleanor.

However, a not-so-strong Penman is still more enjoyable than most fiction.
