Isabeau: A Novel of Queen Isabella and Sir Roger Mortimer by N. Gemini Sasson

3.0

This was a good read. It took a couple hundred pages to get going, but it's nearly a thousand pages long so I stuck with it. . . .otherwise, I might not have. The book was well written and I enjoyed that it switched between Isabella telling the story and Mortimer telling it. It gave a good perspective on each side. Furthermore, I am familiar with how the story truly ends and was happy to see that the author chose not to go there because I'd learned to love both characters. Their personalities really shone through. The book was detailed and brought my imagination of the events to life. I grew to despise the villainous characters in the book and feel great compassion for others. I would recommend the book to others with a love of this genre. It's worth the read.
