A review by irfoxwriter
The Summer Queen by Elizabeth Chadwick

3.0

I enjoyed this book - it’s an easy historical fiction read. The language is beautiful in parts but generally functional. At times I felt the progression was quite slow but the author has a lot to explain. My favourite elements were the contrasting characterisations of Alienor and her sister Petronella, and Louis of France vs Henry of England. I will read the next one as I find Eleanor of Aquitaine one of the most fascinating women in history and Chadwick does a good job of telling her story.
