A review by ashndean88
The King's Witch by Tracy Borman
3.0
Lovely writing, and I liked how the story was done during a time in history that I am not familiar with. Everything was also very accurate, which I appreciated. You can tell Borman is quite the historian and really knows her stuff! It made the book more believable.
However, the plot was quite predictable and I got bored often. The characters were dull and I found myself thinking "I don't really care" whenever Frances was faced with a dilemma. Also, concerning the title, I was a little disappointed there was not more focus on the court thinking she was a witch. It was there for the first half, then died off with only hints of it here and there, as though trying to maintain a tie to the title.
So the story was dull and all my stars solely go towards Borman for her research and writing style. I will not be reading the remaining books in the series.
