Thanks to the author/publisher for the goodreads giveaway!
I barely know what to say about this one, I have so many mixed feelings. The first 5/7 was awesome. I tore through it and loved every second. Then suddenly I began to feel like I just wanted it to be over - maybe it was slow, maybe I just ran out of stamina (with over 800 pages there’s bound to be some slow parts and fatigue). Things picked back up for me towards the end and came to a screeching halt that left me wondering how the story actually ends and how on Earth I got to this kind of ending in an 800 page book?!? I would have loved for there to be an epilogue or SOMETHING to truly end the storyline.
My only real concern/complaint is that the cover states the is “a Novel of Eleanor of Aquitaine” and she is only introduced about halfway through and is only a supporting character. This is a novel of a character named Isabelle in which Eleanor of Aquitaine makes an appearance.
