A review by balloyd92
The Tudor Crown by Joanna Hickson

3.0

A 3.5 for me. Mostly well written, though the ending got a bit bogged down with too much military and technical language (cool for some readers, just not this one). It felt a little too "ra ra, hail the tudor king!!!!!" for me, too - like, Henry was the golden hero and Richard the black devil. I like my historical fiction to be more nuanced. I'm no Tudor historian, but I can guarantee Henry VII had some demons of his own. Those are the best part of historical fiction for me and were sadly lacking from this story.
