The King's Witch: Frances Gorges Historical Trilogy, Book I by Tracy Borman
3.0
tl;dr Review:
A good historical fiction tale. Nothing particularly special or unique about it, but not terrible either.
Full Review:
My overall feeling about The King's Witch: Frances Gorges historical trilogy, Book I by Tracy Borman was that it was fine. It wasn't a bad book, but it wasn't one of my favorite historical fiction books either.
The fact that it's part of a trilogy does intrigue me because I wonder how much of this book was meant to lay the ground work for the rest of the books to come.
I was initially really excited to read it because the publisher's description really caught my attention.
Maybe I'm jaded because I read a ton of historical fiction, so I have a really high bar in terms of these types of stories. Or maybe I know too much about this particular time period in history and that also makes me expect more, but either way, I wasn't absolutely in love with this book.
I do love our protagonist and there's enough intrigue to make it not a complete waste of your time.
If you're looking for an easy historical fiction read that won't require too much brainpower or attention, then this will work great. If you're looking for a thriller or a book you just can't put down, I'd suggest you look elsewhere.
I give it 3 out of 5 thumbs up.
