The King's Witch by Tracy Borman
3.0
I love historical fiction, and I love the era of the Tudor's...and this book seemed like a good fit, despite the fact it is technically Stuart England. I was not a fan of Gregory's books at all, but love Allison Weir. This definitely felt like a good historical fiction, using real events and a real person (although one not much in history, it's always so much fun to see authors fill in the gaps) and it worked.
Sometimes fill in the gap stories are hard, because sometimes it doesn't work, or it doesn't feel real. But this did. It felt like a well done history, that Frances was actually going through all those things.
Borman did a great job on this book, and I definitely will be reading the second one in the series. Did I think some parts of it were a little ehhh? Yes, but I still enjoyed the book overall.
