Bring Up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel

4.0

It was a little over 6 months since I read Wolf Hall and I struggled to reconnect with the first several chapters. Once I got back into it I enjoyed this one almost as much as the first. It lacked the vivid character building of the first book and some of the rough n ready 'Cromwellisms' began to feel a little tired by the end. Instead Hilary capitalises on our emotional connection with the existing characters to entertain with drama and intrigue which I enjoyed along with the conclusion.
