The Queen of Bedlam by Robert R. McCammon

3.0

Three and a half stars. Usually I have trouble sticking with books that are all plot and not much depth to the characters, but every chapter brought new characters and plot lines that kept me going almost to the end. By the last 50 pages or so, the thinness of the characters was hard to ignore. They didn't seem like fully dimensional people, but more like devices to move the plot. The historical accuracy of the dialog also took a downhill turn towards the end, like an actor dropping his accent as the play goes on. But overall it was a fun and quick read and when I'm in the mood for another plot-based historical novel, I'll go for another in the Mathew Corbett series.
