Captive Queen: A Novel of Eleanor of Aquitaine by Alison Weir

3.0

Oh i did not enjoy this book at all. This was a solid two and half from me. I absolutely love Eleanor of Aquitaine, and really enjoyed Elizabeth Chadwick's stories. But this one just fell so flat to me. I didn't like Eleanor at all. She was annoying and naive. I don't understand how someone who grew up in the courts could assume that Henry was only sleeping with her. It just was like WHAT?! How is she that dumb? The beginning of the book was a bit slow and I was so bored with it. I didn't really like how the author portrayed Richard the Lionheart as like his father and that's just not right. Looks like I'll give up on Alison Weir again I just can't like her novels.
