Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel

Loved the audiobook!!! Didn't have any issues distinguishing voices. Very even volume and pacing throughout. Will be continuing the series on audio and would highly recommend reading it this way.
The writing was spectacular and I loved how it didn't feel too much like looking back at this time period from the modern day, it just felt like it was fully set in the past. I don't know too much about this time period besides recognizing some of the names and I think I would've gotten more out of it if I had been familiar with the history but I was still able to follow. Definitely very slow paced and focused on showing all of the interactions between all of the characters but I think it earned its page count through the high level of detail, intrigue, and commitment to showing everything that Cromwell would've experienced.
